"Running scared, I was there."
Someone explain pls. I feel like it's been a recurring line in a few of Her songs.

You can interpret it as GU suggested, as in She is running from the relationship. Or, as someone else in this base once suggested, you can interpret it as saying that She was there watching him run scared from the relationship. Both are plausible, although I think the latter makes more sense considering the song (and She probably wouldn't say "I was there, running away scared," so I think "I was there watching him run away" makes more sense).
The latter would be reminiscent of "made you run and hide like a scared little boy" from Forever & Always.
