I Run Away

I run away everyday 
       gee thanks for making me this way
         I don't think ill even find 
           what I've been running from for so long 
                I'm a canceler
                       therefore I break a lot of hearts
                           I don't think I'll ever fall in love
                                      not like before
                                     Not as wide as I opened myself
                                           I'm going to stay firmly closed
                                               He can't get in 
                                                   No one can 
                                                   I run away everyday 
                                                 try to outrun the pain 
                                                   try to always win 
                                                    No time for oxygen
                                                         no time for stopping
                                                            I don't want to ever feel 
                                                            like I did that day
                                                                 So don't even try
                                                             you'll never catch up enough 
                                                                   to save me from myself
