I run away from the world
When I feel cold inside
When the shadows of my past
Are too heavy to hide
I search through the pieces
Of a life I can't define
Trying to find a reason
Why I still call it mine
I try to believe it
The story I've been told
But the truth keeps breaking through
The cracks of all I hold
When the memory
Is all that's left inside
Do you want to feel it again
Or do you want to hide?
Do you open up your heart
Or let it turn to stone?
Do you run away from the world
Or try to carry it alone?
Run away
Run away
But the past still knows your name
There's a silence in the moments
Where the pain begins to speak
And it whispers all the secrets
That I'm too tired to keep
I chase a fading vision
Of the things I used to be
But the harder that I look
The less of me I see
I try to believe it
That healing finds its way
But the ghosts inside my chest
Still rise every day
When the memory
Is all that's left inside
Do you want to feel it again
Or do you want to hide?
Do you open up your heart
Or let it turn to stone?
Do you run away from the world
Or try to carry it alone?
Run away
Run away
But the past still knows your name
And maybe breaking down
Is the way to start again
Maybe losing all you held
Is how you finally let it end
Maybe running from the pain
Is just running toward the truth
That every shattered version of yourself
Still leads you back to you
When the memory
Is all that's left inside
Do you want to feel it again
Or do you want to hide?
Do you open up your heart
Or let it turn to stone?
Do you run away from the world
Or try to make it your own?
Run away
Run away
But someday
You'll find your way back
