Running Away - (Suite)

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...
