[Chorus]
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
'Cause your past, it can't be undone
Tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
[Verse 1]
Well 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
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause she's so tired
She closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
And she's so tired
She closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
So 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
'Cause your past, it can't be undone, no way
Tell me what you're running from
What you running from
Whoa yeah
[Verse 2]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause she's so tired
She closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
And she's so tired
She closes her eyes
Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
Well she's been running away so long
And she's been running away from home
Will she ever get back? Well 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
Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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
'Cause your past, it can't be undone, no way
Tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
Oh yeah yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Oh
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, yeah
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, yeah
Well tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me, tell-a-me
Oh
So tell me what you're running from
She said everything and everyone
So tell me what you're running from
What you're running from
