[Verse 1]

I've watched you wander about

With nowhere to go but down

Or back to beginnings

I never wanted you out

To follow the broken path

Down to your ending

[Pre-Chorus]

Guilty hands have paved the way

To emptiness

So tell me

[Chorus]

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

[Verse 2]

I see you withering now

A stubborn little broken man

So lost and alone

I wish that I could amend

The heart of my fading friend

But you would rather have it your way

[Pre-Chorus]

Guilty hands have paved the way

To emptiness

So tell me

[Chorus]

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

[Bridge]

Would you swallow your pride

And let me erase your stains

You run and you hide

But the darkness will have it's way

I never wanted you to find your end

So

[Chorus]

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

[Outro]

(What are you fighting?)

(What are you fighting?)

(What are you fighting?)
