lyrics

Everywhere I go
I've been looking over my
Shoulder with a wary eye

Something beautiful
Turned into a stranglehold
Now I'm pacing through the night

Phone rings endlessly
Voices seek to comfort me
But I push them all away

No one can bring him back
Nobody can change the past
I should have known it was too good to last

I had to run away
I had to run away
I had to run away
There's nothing more to say
I had to run away
I had to run away

Empty highway
I've been driving it for days
Distance is my only friend

Walls were closing in
Wolves they were a-circling
Sensing what was coming

You wanted me to stay
And play your twisted, little games
A sycophant to this insanity

I've got my running shoes
And nothing left to lose
I didn't let you get the best of me

I had to run away
I had to run away
I had to run away
There's nothing more to say
I had to run away
I had to run away

Letting go and giving up
Are different things, you know
I know you know

I had to run away
I had to run away
I had to run away
There's nothing more to say
I had to run away
I had to run away

You don't know what you're looking for, no
And I'm heading for the door
