If you find that your life would be better off without me,
If you run at full speed and it feels good to be free,
If you know it in your soul though it's hard to let it go,

you better run,
you better run.

If you lift it from the ground, know you're never coming down,
Babe, if you're a boxer and you can't stand another round,
So free to make a sound and your heart began to pound.

you better run,
you better run.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve
that you find out what you need, show what you deserve

All the time that we had, do you think it was a waste?
For what good's a memory without some sort of taste?
and does the value rise if it cannot be replaced?

you better run,
you better run.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve
that you find out what you need, show what you deserve.

But the one thing that I ask,
that you live without reserve,
and I know it hurts for now,
but there's always something learned.

So don't turn around, don't lose your footing now
don't lose your nerve.

Gonna find out what you need,
gonna show what you deserve.
