I feel my life is like a stranger in the dark
So complicated and it's tearing me apart
It's in my soul all the pain invading me
Goodbye to romance and the passion sets me free
Take me, break me (running away, running away)
Make me (running away, running away)
Baby, set me free
Take me, don't blame me (running away, running away)
Save me (running away, running away)
Take me now, baby, let me be
Can't stop the pressure of these chains around my heart
Vindication, domination, ripping us apart
Don't trust a soul, embrace your fears if you can
Want no commitment, I'm a dead walking man
Take me, break me (running away, running away)
Make me (running away, running away)
Baby, set me free
Take me, don't blame me (running away, running away)
Save me (running away, running away)
Take me now, baby, let me be
Beyond a barricade a flame that can't be tamed
Complication, fascination, burning me in flames
Out of control and suddenly the road is fast
Lights out a tragedy reflection of the past
Take me, break me (running away, running away)
Make me (running away, running away)
Yeah, I'm all locked up, set me free
Take me, don't blame me (running away, running away)
Save me (running away, running away)
Take me, break me (running away, running away)
Make me (running away, running away)
Running away, I've got to get away
Take me, don't blame me (running away, running away)
Save me (running away, running away)
Take me, break me, make me, let me be
