Stop running away
It’s not working, your own way
You’ve already lost, if it’s a race
So stop running away
You stole the show, but it’s no fun
You thought you’d know enough to run
Your life on your own, but you’re the one
Who made it come undone
The questions roll, “Have I done enough?”
See the question’s old and the answer’s rough
If the cameras rolled, you’d all be in cuffs
So let’s not talk about good enough
(CHORUS)
Your daily fact is that dull ache
Your heart’s so cracked, it’s got to break
You smile, you laugh, you know that it’s fake
You’ve made so much you want to unmake
They’re going fast, these carefree days
They just won’t last, they’re bound to fade
And have you ever asked if you were made
For that golden endless day?
(CHORUS)
