Running Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been countless hours
A thousand smokes and too many days
But I, but I
I can't reach the sadness
Our friends told me that you can't escape
Should I, should I
Still be missing you, missing you, missing you, missing you?
'Cause I'm not missing you, missing you, missing you, missing you
I just keep hiding under the covers
(Who says I can't keep running?)
Keep on acting like nothing happened
(Who says I can't keep running?)
I've been living like it's tomorrow
(Who says I can't keep running away?)
Who says I can't keep running away?
Who says I can't keep running?
If I'm a waste of time, then
Why d'you let me live in your head?
When I, when I
Know I'm over it, over it, over it, over you
But you're not over it, over it, over it, over me too
I just keep hiding under the covers
(Who says I can't keep running?)
Keep on acting like nothing happened
(Who says I can't keep running?)
I've been living like it's tomorrow
(Who says I can't keep running away?)
Who says I can't keep running away?
Who says I can't keep running?
Away, away
(Who says I can't keep running?)
Away, away
I just keep running away
I just keep running away
I just keep running away
I just keep running away
I keep running, ah
