she cant hide no matter how hard she tries

her secret diguise behind her lies

and at night she cries away her pride

with eyes shut tight

starin' at her inside



all her friends know why she cant sleep at night

all her family askin' if she's alright

all she wants to do is get rid of this hell

well all she gotta do is stop kidding herself



pre chorus:

she can only fool herself for so long

she can only fool herself for so long

she can only fool herself for so long

(i'm too weak to face me)



chorus:

i never know

just why you run

so far away, far away

from me

i never know

just why you run

so far away, far away

from me



when he comes to how to live his life he cant be told

says he's got it all under control

thinks he knows its not a problem he's stuck with

but in reality

can be a problem to just quit

an addict; he cant hold the reins the pain is worse

cause his friends have it the same

tries to slow down the problem he's got

but cant get off the carousel 'til he makes it stop



pre chorus:

he can only fool himself for so long

he can only fool himself for so long

he can only fool himself for so long

(i'm too weak to face me)



(chorus)



try to fly with the wings i gave you

try to do what you believe and i'll save you



(chorus)
