Six days of running, I've been trying to make it home

And they pursue me till they get back what I stole

Mistakes I've made will follow me home

They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

I know they're closing in, I feel them close behind

I just can't shake 'em, it's as if they knew my mind

Mistakes I've made will follow me home

They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

I won't make it home, I've already been shown

I won't see another day or it's gone

I'm pushing hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dying

I've got to make it home to see her one more time

Mistakes I've made will follow me home

They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

Till I'm dead and gone, till I'm dead and gone

I fell in this hole

Nothing but darkness there

I lost all control

Believing I'd die there

Then you came into my life

Picked me up when I thought I was lost

And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost

I just couldn't breathe

The air was too thin up there

I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care

Then you came into my life

Brought me hope so I could see my way

And now my life's changed in so many ways

I've been fooling myself

Thinking that I could make it all by myself

That's living a lie

Then you came into my life

Picked me up when I thought I was lost

And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost

I won't make it home, I've already been shown

I won't see another day or it's gone

I'm pushing hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dying

I've got to make it home to see her one more time

Mistakes I've made will follow me home

They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

Till I'm dead and gone, till I'm dead and gone
