There's no escape unless you're running,
But it depends on what you're chasing.
And I can tell you're feeling pain.
Though you feel alone, you're unrestrained.
And you don't seem like someone prone to starting wars.
But you can't back down from a fight that isn't yours.
Why can't you walk away?
I see them follow in my footsteps.
And I don't know why, it's paved with regrets.
Like a wave of raw emotion,
I just want to yell and cause a commotion.
And you don't seem like someone prone to starting wars.
But you can't back down from a fight that isn't yours.
Why can't you walk away?
You put your life on display
As if it's worse than anybody else.
And you wonder why they talk behind your back.
How can you blame them?
You did it to yourself.
And you don't seem like someone prone to starting wars.
But you can't back down from a fight that isn't yours.
Why can't you walk away?
