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
