Running From Myself

Been running from myself Been screaming out in vain Can’t get my self control Drivin in the pouring rain My grip tight on the wheel As I catch a self glance in my rear view mirror Gonna take it to the ditch Or gonna drive it off the pier And it ain’t because of you girl Cause it is only fair to say I took it to the limits And I pushed you all the way And as the thunder booms in my ears As the hailstones bounce upon the ground I recognize it is not worth livin And this boy is going down The tires stretch their limits As I take one last deep breath If life is not worth livin I might as well try death And the impact is unreal to me the entire episode seems so fake As I scream out in my sleep And suddenly find myself awake there you are lying next to me your tan long legs and curvy thighs and I look across the bedroom and I dry my weary eyes and I know that in the morning I will have the chance to say Please don’t leave me darling Cause I want you to surely stay Yet the words won’t come I know this As your bags sit waiting by the door And I will hope it does not rain today Cause I can’t predict my own actions anymore Cause I can’t predict my own actions anymore
