I spent my weeks running wild
I used to live recklessly and without direction

And now my days they have changed
But now with you, my life has taken a turn for the better

I never thought I'd be the girl that walked away
I used to have a fear of commitment and never thought I'd find someone to stay with

I found my one true love
But you showed me that love exists and I found it in myself

In me you found it too
And you saw that in me as well

A path that ran to me and didn't make it hard to choose
Through you, I found a clear path to happiness that was easy to follow

'Cause you found me hiding with my heart hanging on the wall
You saw through my tough exterior to the vulnerable person within

You took a chance on me and didn't think that I would fall
And even though I was scared to trust again, you believed in me and gave me the courage to take that leap

You gave me hope and you let me know that oh
You've given me a newfound sense of optimism and let me know that anything is possible

If I give it time it will all be mine and oh
As long as I'm patient, good things will come to me

You gave me something that I didn't have before
You've given me a sense of self-worth and a belief in love that I didn't possess before

So I'mma give you something to stop you saying more
So I want to reciprocate that love and give you something in return

Amber's all I ever saw like my life was on hold
Before I met you, my life was dull and monotonous, with no sense of purpose

I never thought I'd see the day the light change green
But now, with you by my side, the world seems a little brighter and full of possibilities

I'm holding onto gold
I've found something valuable in myself and in our relationship and don't want to let it go

It's me that you did trust and nobody's stone is carved
You've put your trust in me, and we don't know what the future holds, but we'll face it together

Running, running, running, running all the way
I'm willing to run the race of life with you, through all the ups and downs
