running away

Lyrics

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 curve my appetite, i couldn't think and i couldn't pray, that's what really done it do me, 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 a run, running away, i was just running, i was just running, from shadow 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 this 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, 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 curve my appetite, i couldn't think and i couldn't pray, and that's what really done it do me, i was running, i was running, running, running, i was running, running, i was running, running, running.
