Run
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember make believe in you
All the things I’ve said I do
I wouldn’t hurt you like the world did me
Keep you safe but keep you sweet
Everything that I went through
I’m grateful you won’t have to do
I can’t hide you from it all
But take the best of what I’ve got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away you know you can
Run, run, run,
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, they will hold you down (oh oh oh)
They will hold you down (oh oh oh)
Here’s the bloody, bloody truth,
You will hurt and you loose
I’ve got scars you won’t believe
Wear them proudly on my sleeve
I hope you have the sense to know
That sadness comes and sadness goes
Love so hard and play love out loud
It’s the only thing to give a damn about
But take the best of what I’ve got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away you know you can
Run, run, run,
Back to my ars, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, they will hold you down
All this time I swear I’m not wasting
All your smile I’m always gonna save it
You’re in the back of my mind,
Whenever I’ma away from you
All this time I swear I’m not wasting
All your smile I’m always gonna save it
You’re in the back of my mind,
Whenever I’ma away from you
Run, run, run, back to your arms, back to your arms
Run, run, run, back to your arms, and they will hold you
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, they will hold you down (oh oh oh)
They will hold you down (oh oh oh)
In the first verse of "Run," P!nk reflects on the promises she's made to someone she loves. She assures them that she wouldn't hurt them like the world has hurt her, and that she will do her best to keep them safe and happy. However, she acknowledges that they will still experience pain and hardships. She urges them to take the best of what she's got and return to her whenever they need support, running back into her arms.
In the second verse, P!nk shares some hard truths with her loved one. She tells them that they will face loss and heartbreak, just as she has, and that they will carry their own scars. However, she encourages them to love fully and expressively, because that's what really matters in life. Again, she emphasizes that she will always be there to offer comfort and solace whenever they need it.
Overall, "Run" is a song about the enduring power of love and support. P!nk acknowledges that life can be tough, but she believes that it's possible to get through anything with the right people by your side. The repetition of "run, run, run" throughout the chorus emphasizes the importance of returning to those people whenever you need them, and the final line — "they will hold you down" — is a comforting reminder that you're never truly alone.
