Lyrics

I put my heart on the back burner Didn't wanna face my own misery Smiled as hard as I could That felt much better to me But sometimes I couldn't sleep at night And food and shoes couldn't curb my appetite I couldn't think and I couldn't pray That's what really done it to me I was running Running away, I was running Running away, I was running Running away, I was running Running away, I was running I, I, I tried to hide inside a beautiful place I held on to my joy, but it felt so second place More than anything, I felt afraid Afraid to feel the pain that I myself had made Didn't like what I had done But I realized I was on the run Running away, I was just running Running away, I was just running Running away, I was just running Running away, I was just running I was just running from the shallow side of the pool It wasn't me, just a caricature Sometimes the pain came and I ran away Didn't wanna see that life can be hard and ugly sometimes That's just the way it is But I realized I couldn't keep running from it No, no, that's the way life goes Everything I'm supposed to feel Sometimes I'm supposed to cry Sometimes I'm supposed to be confused Sometimes we have to ask the question Why, why, that's the way it's supposed to be Nothing in life is easy, ooh Can't keep running, running, running, running Can't keep running, running, running, running I can't keep running I put my heart on the back burner Didn't wanna face my own misery Smiled as hard as I could That felt so much better to me But sometimes I couldn't sleep at night And food and shoes couldn't curb my appetite I couldn't think and I couldn't pray And that's what really done it to me I was running I was running, running, running I was running, running I was running, running, running Running, running... I think we should listen to that I liked that change, what happened It wasn't a structured bridge but I thought is was cool What did I see, me, me It wasn't me, no no, it wasn't me I was hiding on the shallow side of the pool Playing the fool, hiding from me Oh, when I looked in the mirror, what did I see It wasn't me, it wasn't me Hiding in the shallow side of the pool Allowing my own heart to be a fool Didn't wanna feel no pain Didn't wanna dive in, no, no no Didn't wanna be sad again Didn't wanna, didn't wanna cry Didn't wanna mourn, no no Didn't wanna weep, no no no no no Didn't wanna be angry I was just runnin', runnin' I put my heart on the back burner Didn't wanna face my own misery Smiled as hard I could That felt so much better to me But sometimes I couldn't sleep at night And food and shoes couldn't curb my appetite I couldn't think and I couldn't pray That's what really done it to me Oh, can't keep runnin' Oh, can't keep runnin' Can't keep runnin', keep runnin' When I looked in the mirror, what did I see? Wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me Just hiding in the shallow side of the pool Painting my own self, painting my own self as a fool Can't keep runnin', can't keep runnin' Can't keep runnin', can't, can't, can't Can't run, can't keep runnin' away, hey hey hey Can't keep runnin', oh, can't keep runnin' Ooh, can't, can't keep runnin' Can't, can't, can't, can't, can't Can't keep runnin', can't keep, can't keep Can't keep runnin' away Yeah right, can't keep runnin', baby Can't keep runnin', baby When I look in the mirror, what do I see? Beautiful girl with pain, with joys With laughter, with pride and miseries Everybody got 'em Can't keep runnin', can't keep runnin' Can't keep runnin' Resistance is futile, resistance is futile Can't keep running
