Running Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna run to the river alone 'cause I don't want people to see
I get so embarrassed when I run, I can't breathe
When I'm by the water and there's no one there but me
I stand and fill my lungs up, and I'll walk back home for tea

[Verse 2]
No, I don't like my stomach, my mother says it's round
I tried to run it off but, when I run, my breath runs out
Well, mother, I am flattered that my hunger makes you proud
But I don't want this hunger if it puts me in the ground

[Verse 3]
Describe what I look like 'cause I can't really tеll
I'm told I look my best when I feel a bit unwell
And it rеally gets me down, this idea that you sell
But I can't afford to taste it, so I'll settle for the smell

[Verse 4]
I'll say something ironic (Say something ironic) that I was never told
I'll cover up my body (I'll cover up my body) when it fits into the mould
See, no one ever warned me that skinniness is cold (Ah-ah-oh)
So, I don't think I'll take skinny past these twenty-two years old

[Outro]
(Hmm-mm, mm, mm-mm)
