Matt Cardle - Run For Your Life Lyrics






You need somebody who likes themself
Who lives for life and never calls for help
You need somebody to walk you back
Someone who loves you too before you ask

You’re worth more, you’re worth more than this
You can take a leap without the risk
There’s no time, there’s no time for this
Take your love and start again

So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

You need someone who can stand alone
Who finds the way, instead of being shown
Somebody with confidence
Who's strong enough to be hit more than once

You'll find more, you'll find more than this
Take the world that's at your fingertips
Don't waste time, don't waste time with this
Take your love and start again

So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

Run, run and don't look back again
Run, run, one day you'll understand
I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am

So run for your life (run and don't look back again, run and don't look back again)
Run for your life (one day you'll understand, one day you'll understand)
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

Run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

  8. S.... L....

    Love this song💞💞💞

  9. A.... i....

    I can't believe this video has any thumbs down let alone over a million?

  10. A.... i....

    I haven't washed his auditions in his journey through the talent show for a while but every once in a while I watch all of them he's just amazing with his voice just such a beautiful tonal quality. I wish America would discover unlike some of the British talent more these days

  11. S.... D....

    Thank You Matt. This song is My Motivation. I alwayd play this song in My Motorcycle Speaker and people record me enjoying this song.....

  12. v.... s....

    Love your song your music as always since your performance in x factor back in year 2010.
    Keep shining Matt!!

  13. M.... c....

  14. J.... S....

  16. M.... M....

    2018.04.01

  17. B.... ....

    Man I wish Matt liked men, I need more gay guys like Matt in my area!

    B.... ....

    You’re so funny. 😍✌️

    B.... ....

    I always imagined myself as being similar to Matt Cardle in many ways, the way he just belts out his songs, it's kind of a mix between rock and a bit of opera. He's the closest thing to the male Leona Lewis.

    B.... ....

    Yes he’s awesome. I hope you find someone like him to make you happy. 🤩

    B.... ....

    hey hey... as girls find most of all the really really cute handsome guys are gay so leave this one to us! lol

  18. S.... y....

    What a change to see a nice pretty girl on YouTube instead of the usual slags.

    This is kind of song that can break your heart because of its beauty nad emotions that vocalist put into it. It's really amazing!

  31. C.... D....

    i like te speed 1.25 and 1.05 on it

  32. V.... 7....

    Put this into speed 2 and it sounds cool especially this part 1:52

  33. D.... A....

    Memories came flooding back when I came across this song just there for the first time in years! What a voice

  34. W.... O....

    Gary Barlow is a genius. What a song

  35. M.... H....

    Your amazing as always

  36. R.... S....

    Great talent need more from this guy where has he gone?

    R.... S....

    ... on to writing 3 Top 10 albums, latest 2 self produced, several solo as well as full on rock tours with his live band, inumerable gigs, an award winning debut lead role at the West End, a 4th album in the works right now which he, funnily enough, already toured last year.
    How about typing "matt cardle" into youtube's search and sort by date? ;-)

    R.... S....

    Julia68yt thanks for that I was aware of the albums and touring I was referring to the chart success he had.

    R.... S....

    Have you actually listened to the charts lately? They went off the deep end when they started including streamed media, i.e. now even stuff people don't even bother to actually pay for gets counted, too. Which also means that if you don't throw the most insane amounts of promo=money to stir up some relentlessly peddled hype you won't be in the charts for more than a couple of days.

    The shift became very evident when, 2 years ago, they actually put together "best selling" charts for UK and Ireland, covering the last 15 years. Matt's "When We Collide" is far up in the Top 25 in the UK and on #1 in Ireland. As a comparison, the music video that went with it barely made 1 million views in 5 years. The most juicy fact though is that One Direction, the most globally hyped artificial creation of the century had exactly 1 (one) single song in there ... at the very very very bottom of the Top100, too, (about rank 95 iirc) in the UK. In Ireland they're not even on the radar when it comes to actual sales.
    In short: Conventional chart positions don't mean sh-t nowadays.

    Plus, Matt's definitely not a hype person - just look at how he handled the Amazing/Photograph situation(s).
    So let's keep calm and see how the new single/album fares sales-wise ;-)

  37. a.... 2....

    HOLY FUCK I can't believe I found this. I've literally spent the whole of this year and most of last year trying to find this. I remember listening to this on the UK top 40 on my TV when I came home from primary school. I listened to it so much that the video burned itself into my head and I've been describing it to people but they had no clue what I was talking about! I found my favourite song fuck yes

  38. A.... H....

    He was brillant performing and it emotional song.

  39. A.... H....

    Matt cardle have wonderful voice

  40. A.... S....

    He will still get where he deserves, at the top of the charts !!! I'm Brazilian and love the songs of this guy. Hugs to all. I do not know English, I use google translate, then .....

  41. c.... a....

    I love Matt and I love this song!!

  42. N.... B....

    Heavenly; like all his music!!!👌👌👌

  43. S.... 1....

    Perfect song for matt

  44. P.... B....

    best song I've heard in a while

  45. C.... T....

    The passion flows through my veins listening to this one.

  46. j.... o....

    Thanks for that Julia68yt

  47. J.... H....

    My favourite song today.

  48. X.... S....

    Watching Matt Cardle see ya end of this month god willing or August Cant wait will be my first ever gig my first time ever seeing him live after all these years being his fan

  49. S.... A....

    I think this guy is very talented, and got a great voice, hope he just don't fade away.

    S.... A....

    Matt had 3 indie albums out with his bands before 2010, did his winner's album under Columbia's umbrella in 2011, had since 2 other solo albums out that charted 1&2 indie, and right now is touring and recording his 4th album.
    Last summer he played the lead role in one of West End's top original musicals which won him a best debut award, too. Rumours have it that he will take on yet another role towards the end of this year.
    In short, it doesn't look he'll be out of work anytime soon ;-)

    S.... A....

    And recently released his fourth album. The only way @mattcardle going is UP the charts. Awesomely talented singer/songwriter and performer.

  50. Z.... ....

    This is 5 years old now!

    @Julia68yt
    Emotion and Opinions are a things not based on physics or law.
    You dont always need a reason to feel the way you feel.
    Sometimes it just happens.
    Remember ALWAYS.
    Accept my opinion as Zairrd Vordenta's personal opinion
    And dont say its not aggregate .
    If that is hard to swallow respect my opinion.
    I sense that you are upset because i didnt like this song.

    Z.... ....

    @Zairrd Vordenta You're rambling.
    Others neither have to "accept" nor "respect" your opinion.
    Your only right is to voice it.

    Z.... ....

    @Julia68yt
    Whoa Whoa Whoa

    I was not rambling.
    Its your attitude that makes you say so.

    Clearly you are disillusioned.

    If a person cant respect opinion then why the fuck do you even live.

    You can argue with me ,show me why i'm wrong,diss me for my errors.

    Not respceting other people's opinion proves that you are a troll.

    Next you'll say
    Fuck discipline
    I'm young,wild and free.

    I was not even attacking you in the first place.

    I fail to comprehend why you are so cynical

    Are you spoiled girl or something

    CLEARLY THIS IS VERY RUDE AND EXTREMELY LOWLY OF YOU.
    So say it isnt so .
    But i see it.

    For God's sake i was not shoving my opinions either.

    Do you think i present myself in these comment sections for EULOGIES.

    Z.... ....

    Kryptic Gamer und immer klasse...

    Z.... ....

    Well know its 6 years old my guy

  51. T.... W....

  55. k.... c....

    omg in tears this is too ironic first of all I am redheaded and second my x wrote a song that said if I were you I would cut me lose and run for your life turns out he was right after being abused scarred by him on every level there is my heart still loves him and the way we were I fought and took care of him just to watch him leave and not fight for me the hardest lesson I have ever learned time is too precious and valuable to give to someone that didn't give a damn

    His yt page is MattCardleVevo btw, and there are also some comprehensive featured playlists on my channel ;-)

    H.... ....

    @Julia68yt I haven't heard of him for a while, I didn't realise he was still going.

    H.... ....

    @HannahB
    What you hear depends on whether you care to actively listen ;-) Matt went back to being indie because SyCo treated him rather disrespectfully when it came to artistic input. He did it even tho he knew it'd cost him easy promotion like being pushed into everyone's face, if only in x-factor flashbacks. They pretty much erased him from their history instead of being proud of having put someone on their own feet (Dannii is still very supportive tho). On the other hand that means everything he accomplished in the last 4 years came of his own back.
    He's active on twitter and facebook btw.

  58. j.... o....

    who is the girl in the video ?

    j.... o....

    +jamie oliver Grace Gray. There's a "making of" here [ qMzJFdVr2lk ]

  66. A.... F....

    Run for Your Life..
    lanjutkan hidupmu.tinggalkan saja aku.

  67. J.... B....

    Hey Matt, I'll do you and Mel a deal. If you comment my video of me singing "I believe in a thing called love" I will sing one of your songs and add it to YouTube. Hope your both well?

  68. M.... L....

    Matt!
    You're my soul!

  69. l.... ....

    Thanks Kyle. Didn't know that Matt didn't write the lyrics for this song but I still love the way he delivers them. So, I still mean all I originally wrote with the exception of the comments about the lyrics. Thanks for informing me.

    l.... ....

    This is the song SyCo crowbarred as a single into Matt's album as a promo vehicle, overruling Columbia and everyone else. Basically this was one of the straws that made Matt take his second solo album and produce it independently.
    Nevertheless, he did an excellent job on the vocals like he does with every song he puts his mind/voice to :)

    l.... ....

     Thanks for the information, Julia68yt. Matt's music is relatively new to me and I'm not such a music purist, so I don't check out the back story on an artist. All I know or care about is how the lyrics and voice sound to me. It seems my remark has stirred up a few in which this really matters to them. I appreciate the information about who actually wrote the lyrics though. They deserve the kudos for the lyrics. Matt deserves the kudos for the way he delivered the lyrics. But in the end, I do love ol' Mattie boy.

    l.... ....

    I'm no "purist" either ;) Yet when I stumbled upon Matt pretty late in 2012 (which kinda makes me "new" too) I was totally dumbfounded how someone with that kind of obvious abilities "ended up" in a so-called talent show ... and then _still_ chose to produce his stuff independently as soon as he got the chance. These info I picked up alongside my quest to have that question answered :)
    Anyway, that's how a non-self-written song got released as a single for a self-written album and keeps confusing people as to its originator.

    l.... ....

    The song was written by Gary Barlow

    l.... ....

    @Julia68yt Matt has said that he loved this song, that he'd been trying to write a song like this himself for years. I don't know where you got that information from. It wasn't this song that did it.

  70. k.... c....

    nice, but NO vinyl?

    k.... c....

    @khoo chee peng I doubt that SyCo bothered with it. Matt released his 3rd album "Porcelain" on vinyl, tho. Also the single "Hit my heart".

  71. S.... S....

    La chica de Couture me hizo llegar aqui!! jajajaja

  81. c.... c....

    Adoro Matt!!!!!!

  82. l.... ....

    Matt, you are so honest with your lyrics and transparent of heart that you touch the very soul of a person. Your boyish good looks and open face makes us feel so comfortable that we almost feel like your our good best friend or neighbor. Keep opening your heart up to us with your wonderful lyrics and beautiful voice and we, as your fans, will never forsake you. Love this song as I do all that you've done thus far.♥

    l.... ....

    Matt didn't write this, it was written by Gary Barlow lead singer of the boy band take that.

  83. R.... ....

    and when we collide

  84. R.... ....

    i dont like his only this one

    R.... ....

    why listern to it then 

    R.... ....

    i meant to i only like this song of his and the rest are rubbish

  85. B.... D....

    I love his music

  86. m.... v....

    took my breath away!

  87. B.... U....

    I can't understand why Matt Cardle didn't make the big time long ago. Every now and again I here 1960s singer Gene Pitney in Matts voice, but Matt is MATT!!!!

    B.... U....

    Music business has become a pile of ---- in recent years. I stopped listening to new music over a decade ago because the charts turned into redundant samey autotuned rubbish. Only when I discovered Matt I started asking the same question as you just did and found out about how only a few huge labels are dominating the business, trying to sell the same music to as much people as possible. That means they mainstream sounds to the max, kill every bit of individuality and wasting ungodly amounts of money on promotion.

    With indie artists like Matt you need to know that they exist in the first place to start looking for their music. But you already have taken that step. Enjoy the music, not the hype :)

    B.... U....

    @Julia68yt I'm glad that Matt went out on his own as he has a lot more control over what he  does. his ( Porcelain ) album is so good and all the songs are really top notch. he is my most favorite singer ever, and the fact that I'm 73yrs. old I've heard a lot of crap in my time. Keep it up Matt.

  88. M.... G....

    krásna skladba ..... 

  89. K.... S....

    This song broke my heart, but I can't stop listening to it. ♥

  90. J.... ....

    Matt has 3 self-written solo albums out by now. "Letters", "The Fire" and "Porcelain" - the latter 2 of which he produced and plays the majority of instruments on. Check them them out on iTunes or Amazon UK. You know you want to :)

    J.... ....

    Julia68yt What are you, his manager???

  91. E.... f....

    X factors biggest loser

    E.... f....

    You're on the wrong video. You're looking for the guy who won in 2012. Go there....he needs your help.

    E.... f....

    FK U PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP ****

  92. T.... ....

    I have 2 Fantastic Matt Cardle Tickets (Seats) for his show at the Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday 18th April 2014. If you are interested then please contact me at: [email protected]

    Thanks

  93. D.... C....

    All of the good singers come from X-Factor/American Idol!

    D.... C....

    the voice and bgt as well lol x 

    D.... C....

    @gemma scott BGT, ok, Calum Scott but the voice??? Who? I dont know anyone

  94. A.... F....

    It really feels really good when an artist such as Matt starts his work and appears so in love with his own work and fans. You can tell. God bless you man!!

  95. M.... ....

    Porcelaine is out now. His best album.
