I run my life, or is it running me?
Do I know what I want, or just want what I see?
Do I choose who I love, or just love those who love me?
I'm trying to catch my breath, but it's running from me.
It's all about me, it always has been,
About who I am and who I could be.
Am I good enough for him, is she good enough for me?
Running around, we're just trying to see.
I run to keep up with what I should be,
But I'm no runner- just set me free.
Use me, abuse me, tell me whatever
Just don't let me think, whilst I think I'm clever.
Tearing and telling, breaking and fixing,
The world has got to keep on moving.
I need to be stuffed with more than I need
So i can run ahead and take the lead.
After I win I'm in charge of this place,
I can show the others that are running this race,
How to direct life all on their own
instead I'm stuck in the rain: alone
I can't control it, it just pours down
I'm left soaked through with only my frown,
my life was to be perfect you see,
But now, instead, it's raining on me.
I ran my life, or did it run me,
I tried too hard and only now can I see,
There's only one way to truly be free,
I need a saviour: That's the only key
But where could I go, when my life wouldn't turn?
Who could teach me how to learn?
I'm too tired from my running to look and find,
I've only got one race and it's being timed.
Not much longer now my friend,
My race is drawing towards its end,
My life was run directly by me,
So alone the consequence is headed to me.
I ran my best, directed my way,
it wasn't enough, I can now say
I brought, I sold, my very own life,
Was the price worth all this strife?
I run my life, or is it running me?
I'm too tired to wait and see.
I'm giving up i can't go on,
I ran my life, completely wrong.
Ive done it all, so what is there now,
The curtains closing but I refuse to bow.
I'm not proud of the life I raced,
All sweet and fluffy, and nicely laced.
Tangible! I need it now.
Something I can hold onto somehow,
That won't let go, and won't slip by,
Then a smile can replace my sigh.
It's coming I know, I'm waiting nearby,
It'll answer my ugly why?
Why am I here, why not there,
Who am I, and who can care?
Do I run my life, or is it running me?
I get it now, I can finally see,
I'm tired of running my life and it running me,
So I'm giving it all to the one that loves me, for me.
