Well tell me what you're running from
She said everything and everyone
Well tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
Well tell me what you're running from
Because your past it can't be undone
Oh tell me what you're running from
What you're running from

She wakes up every morning
Her thoughts weighing heavy on her mind
She's hoping today will be a better day than the ones behind
She's having some trouble getting going
Oh, from the fear she's paralyzed
She puts her face into her hands and then she cries

She's so tired, she closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
She's so tired, she closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
Oh yes!

Well tell me what you're running from
She said everything and everyone
Well tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
Well tell me what you're running from, girl
Because your past it can't be undone, no way
Oh tell me what you're running from
What you're running from.. whoah yeah!

No hope for tomorrow, no hope for today
No hope for anything that comes her way
She's so used to feeling empty inside
No reasons to live, more reasons to die
At least that's what she feels inside
Will she ever find the courage to change

She's so tired, she closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
She's so tired, she closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
Oh yeah!

Well she's been running away so long
And she's been running away from home
Will she ever get back, I don't know, no I don't know
And you can see it in her eyes
And you can see it in her smile
Oh, oh, oh, yeah! Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Well tell me what you're running from
She said everything and everyone
Well tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
Well tell me what you're running from, girl
Because your past it can't be undone, no way
Tell me what you're running from
What you're running from.. whoah yeah!
