[Verse 1]
Out of balance, out of options
I've been tryin' for hours to weigh the possibilities
For you and me
What it'd really take to truly be happy
Sick of wishin', holdin' on to empty love ambitions
Happily ever after seems like fiction
I'd be foolish if my faith ain't slipping, sadly

[Pre-Chorus]
(Get away from me)
Wish that I could hurt less
(Ain't got time for your nonsense)
(Don't wanna hear you speak)
Seeing you makes me nervous
'Cause I really believe we still deserve it
And maybe, just maybe I was mistaken
Maybe we could be perfect
Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe its really worth it
I'm not sure yet

[Chorus]
Runnin' from my heart
Hate to go so soon
This has to be the end
You won't see me again
The far side of the moon
Runnin' from my heart

[Verse 2]
So damn jaded
This uncertainty is so frustratin'
I be up here mindin' like I'm waitin'
I'm too old for all these games we playin'
I'm just sayin', uh
You really think that you're the man?
You out here runnin' shit
You know you can
But I ain't like these other women
No I, I ain't really fuckin' with it

[Pre-Chorus]
(Get away from me)
Wish that I could hurt less
(Ain't got time for your nonsense)
(Don't wanna hear you speak)
Seeing you makes me nervous
'Cause I really believe we still deserve it
And maybe just maybe I was mistaken
Maybe we could be perfect
Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe its really worth it
But until then

[Chorus]
Runnin' from my heart
Hate to go so soon (hate to go)
This has to be the end (the end)
You won't see me again (oh)
The far side of the moon
Runnin' from my heart

[Breakdown]
I'm giving you my last goodbye
Ooh, I'm movin' on
You can do no wrong
Ooh, but I'll be long gone

[Chorus]
Runnin' from my heart
Hate to go so soon
This has to be the end
You won't see me again
The far side of the moon
Runnin' from my heart

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
