If I ran so far that my life can't follow me

Would it keep the world from up and swallowing me

There's so much to weigh me down that I can hardly breathe

And I don't want to think about it

But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading fast



If I didn't look back and I changed my name

Would I find my new life exactly the same

I'm looking at an empty future that I already blame

And I don't want to think about it

But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading fast



I've put it all behind me just to have it one day find me

And now I'm just this far from gone

[ guitar ]

And so I'm leaving here on every cent that I could borrow

Lord only knows just where I'll be tomorrow

And I don't want to think about it

But I don't want this pain to last and I'm fading

I don't want to think about it but I don't want this pain to last

And I I'm fading fast yeah I'm fading fast
