lyrics

Growth can be pain
Teenage aching legs
Things I’ve done and
That were done to me
Were not ok

This is what it takes
Gawkiness and aches
Getting to a place
Where it is possible
To change and

What is driving me crazy is
The thought that I don’t
Remember everything
That I did

And what is driving me crazy is
If my intentions were fine
But not the consequence

I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, baby, I’m not running

I felt unbearable pressure
And less than confident
As a man you’re expected
To lead, be dominant

There’s a line and I tried
Hard to never cross it
Remember this is the era
Prior to Robin Thicke

And what is driving me crazy is
Probably something you
Never thought about again

And what is driving me crazy is
I don’t know if, or how
To make amends

I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, baby, I’m not running

I am from the
#MeToo generation
The you were drunk
But me too generation
I am from the
#MeToo generation
The do not as I have done
Generation

I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, baby, I’m not running

Not a Kavanaugh, not Bill Cosby
Hope I’ve never ever been Aziz Ansari
Not a Kavanaugh, not Bill Cosby
Hope I’ve never been Aziz Ansari
Not a Kavanaugh, not Bill Cosby
If I’ve ever been Aziz, I am sorry

Not running, not running, not running
Not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, not running, not running
I’m not running, baby, I’m not running
