Run

Why do I breathe
With what's beating in my chest?
You'd think I'd learn better now
Cause I can't get any rest.
Cause I
Keep trying
To find happiness
In everybody else
Please move that finger
That's been pointing to my mistakes
I want no part
In the feelings you worst make
So let go
And let me love you today
And you're so damn difficult
You'd lose a heart in your hand
And I can't believe you'd make me work for it
Now I understand
Why I run as fast as I can
And I can feel everything
I can feel your emptiness
And I don't believe
There's a way out of this mess
Unless, I
Can forgive
All your sins:
I will not
I'll never laugh again
Again
See right through
My words
See I'm just like you
Watch me stomp on my sweet shoes
All your lies
All your lies
All your lies
You're so damn difficult
You'd lose a heart in your hand
And I can't believe you'd make me work for it
Now I understand
Why I run as fast as I can
