Running away from the ghosts you left
Only light in the darkness is this cigarette
Burning a hole through my empty chest
You broke my heart but I broke the rest
Now, I'm racing after a dream I can't find
Reaching for it, but I'm stuck in my mind
Praying for you to turn back time
You can't so I'm running for my life
Breaking, and letting go
Called your name, but you've turned so cold
Can't save you, I should know
Left my heart, on the open road
Running away from the mess we made
My hands hang heavy, I can't wash the stains
With every step, I pray you'll fade
Can't let you win, won't be afraid
Running away from the things we've done
Though it's blinding head for the sun
Escape the poison spilling from your tongue
Your words are bullets, I'll outrun the gun
Now, I'm racing after a dream I can't find
Reaching for it, but I'm stuck in my mind
Praying for you to turn back time
You can't so I'm running for my life
Breaking, and letting go
Called your name, but you've turned so cold
Can't save you, I should know
Left my heart, on the open road
