running away
Jeffrey James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can′t be honest when my pride's in the way
And you think I'm giving up
Think I′m giving up baby
Haven′t been enough
Haven't been enough lately
Think giving up
And you think I'm giving up
Think I′m giving up baby
Haven't been enough
Haven′t been enough lately
Think giving up
Think I'm giving up, on you
Crying's for the broken hearted
Never give up, don′t ever give up
We can finish what we started
Never give up, don′t say our love's
Running Away
Running Away
And I made a promise it′s for better for worse
And it isn't perfect but it′s still in the works
Oh you think I'm giving up
Think I′m giving up baby
Haven't been enough
Haven't been enough lately
Think giving up
Think I′m giving up, on you
Crying′s for the broken hearted
Never give up, don't ever give up
We can finish what we started
Never give up, don′t say our loves
Running Away
Running Away
(Crying's for the broken hearted
Ken hearted, Hearted
We can finish what we started
We Started)
Running Away
Running Away
(Cryings for the broken hearted
Ken hearted, Ken ken hearted
We can finish what we started
We Started, We we started)
And I know I′m human cause I'm making mistake

The chorus repeats the phrase "think I'm giving up" and "haven't been enough lately", suggesting that the singer's partner may have doubts about their commitment. However, the singer reassures their partner that they have made a promise to stay together through better or worse, even though the relationship is not perfect. They encourage their partner not to give up and to finish what they started, expressing a desire to work through their issues.
The song highlights the difficulty of maintaining a healthy relationship, as well as the importance of communication and honesty.
