Tears of a Runaway
Tears of a Runaway
Blinded by these tears;
Choking on my useless words;
Heart racing like a horse;
Lungs gasping for air.
I long for that happiness
That I once felt.
Instead, painful memories
Are coming back to hurt me.
Running away
Sounded like a good solution,
Even though I may trip and fall.
I'll just keep on running, 'til I can't run at all.
I trip and completely fall down,
But I don't get up this time.
I’m just lying on the ground, now,
Crying ‘til I can’t cry anymore…tears.
Blinded by these tears;
Choking on my useless words;
Heart racing like a horse;
Lungs gasping for air.
I don’t know what to do now.
I’m just paralyzed on the ground;
Except that I’m also shaking
From all the crying that I’m doing.
Running away
Wish I could say
That I would stay.
But, God, just please help me?
The coldness is wrapping around me
Like it’s a frozen blanket.
Trapped in this cold, cold world
And in my mind, memories swirled.
Blinded by these tears;
Choking on my useless words;
Heart racing like a horse;
Lungs gasping for air.
As I lie here,
I wonder
What it would be like
If my life was happier.
I can’t really say for sure
What would be going on.
But if my life was happier,
I wouldn’t be singing this song.
I once felt that warmth and comfort,
But now it’s gone.
And it’s been so long
That everything in my life now is wrong.
I’m blinded by these tears;
Still choking on my useless words;
My heart still racing like a horse;
My lungs still gasping for air.
These are the tears of a...runaway
