John Butler Trio

Running Away
I put my heart on the back burnerDidn't wanna face my own miserySmiled as hard as I couldThat felt so much better to meBut sometimes I couldn't sleep at nightAnd food and shoes couldn't curve my appetiteI couldn't think and I couldn't prayThat's what really done it do me, I was running[Chorus]Running away, I was running [x3]I, I, I tried to hide inside a beautiful placeI held on to my joy, but it felt so second placeMore than anything I felt afraidAfraid to feel the pain that I myself had madeDidn't like what I had doneBut I realized I was on a run[Chorus]Running away, I was just running [x3]I was just runningFrom shadow side of the poolIt wasn't me, just a caricatureSometimes the pain came and I ran awaySongtexteDidn't wanna seeThat life can be hard and ugly sometimesThat's just the way it isBut I realized I couldn't keep runningFrom this no, no, that's the way life goesEverything I'm supposed to feel,Sometimes I'm supposed to crySometimes I'm supposed to be confusedSometimes we have to ask the questionWhy? why?That's the way it's supposed to beNothing in life is easyCan't keep running, running, running, runningCan't keep running, running, running, runningI can't keep runningI put my heart on the back burnerDidn't wanna face my own miserySmiled as hard as I couldThat felt so much better to meBut sometimes I couldn't sleep at nightAnd food and shoes couldn't curve my appetiteI couldn't think and I couldn't prayAnd that's what really done it do me,I was runningI was running, running, runningI was running, runningI was running, running, running...
