"Run" is an unreleased song by Melanie Martinez. It was originally recorded in the sessions of her debut studio album, Cry Baby, however, it was later scrapped.

The full song was leaked on June 4, 2021.

Background[]

The song was written and recorded around late 2013. Melanie's producer, Frequency worked on the song in the studio on October 2, 2013.[1] Melanie performed the song multiple times before discarding it.

Theme[]

This song is about a boy that Melanie isn't sure she should trust because he is always "running away" and doing things behind her back. She thinks that he might be dating other girls.

This song could also be about a failed relationship where one person is constantly "running away" and unable to commit, while the other person is trying to make it work but ultimately decides to move on and find happiness without them. The lyrics touch upon trust issues, love, and self-worth.

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Run!

[Verse 1]
Honey, please get out of that hole you're in
Talkin' to yourself like you're some schizophrenic
I've tried to make you love me
But you're too tired of seeing good things so

[Chorus 1]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but you'll come back to me
Run 'cause you're so damn easy (so damn easy)
'Cause you're so damn easy (so damn easy)

[Verse 2]
I've got trust issues, what do you expect from me?
How should I react when you're always on a running spree?
Your love ran out the minute you held me
So what if I love someone who don't love me?

[Chorus]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but you'll come back to me
Run 'cause you're so damn easy

[Bridge]
One plus one should've equaled you and me (you and me)
But you gave up, set sail on the lonely sea (lonely sea)
Mom was right, you were never good for me (good for me)
I'm done with boys who are on the track team

[Chorus 2]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but don't come back to me
Run, watch me be happy

[Outro]
Watch me be happy, watch me be happy
Watch me be happy, watch me be happy
Watch me be happy

[Intro]
Run!

[Verse 1]
Honey, please get out of that hole you're in
Talkin' to yourself like you're some schizophrenic
I've tried to make you love me
But you're too tired of seeing good things so

[Chorus 1]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but you'll come back to me
Run 'cause you're so damn easy (so damn easy)
'Cause you're so damn easy (so damn easy)

[Verse 2]
I've got trust issues, what do you expect from me?
How should I react when you're always on a running spree?
Your love ran out the minute you held me
So what if I love someone who don't love me?

[Chorus]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but you'll come back to me
Run 'cause you're so damn easy

[Bridge]
One plus one should've equaled you and me (you and me)
But you gave up, set sail on the lonely sea (lonely sea)

[Chorus 2]
Run like you always do, babe
Run like you're in some sort of race
Run but don't come back to me
Run, watch me be happy

[Outro]
Watch me be happy, watch me be happy
Watch me be happy, watch me be happy
Watch me be happy
