Run to you is about how sometimes life can feel out of control, and sometimes the person you need to run to, isn't there to help.
Verse 1: Sometimes people feel like no matter what they do, they just can't get away from the demons they had in their past. Like the story of Sisyphus, people are just constantly trying to push through their issues, only to have them bring them back down again, just for them to start over.
Verse 2: My mother committed suicide while I was a child, after fighting for years with substance abuse issues, and it seems to me that there have been so many points in my life that I really needed some help, or advice, and she would have been the perfect person to turn to, but she wasn't there to help. Its hard to admit that someone who has died had their own issues, and it really wears you down when you feel like you need to just put all the pain they caused you on a shelf, and forget it. Emotions have to be processed, otherwise they may kill you. Family is supposed to be there to help, but many times, people don't feel comfortable going to their family, especially when its about something like addiction, or depression. For the rest of my family, no one learned about everything going on until after her autopsy.
Please let me know what you think about my new single, and what the lyrics mean to you.
