Running on a hot summer’s day,
I hope I will some day win...
Win back the freedom
My mind will not let me have
I attempt anything and everything
To leave the pain that still lingers inside
Doesn’t matter how fast I run
It’s always one second ahead of me
Doesn’t matter how hard I try
It’s still there right beside me
The sweat that pours out of me
Drops to the pavement
Wishing it too is left behind...
But it stays with me the whole way through
Torturing me till the unwanted end I must face
I try to fight it
But how can I keep fighting
When You’re still here in my mind
I try hard to let go but
It’s hard to loosen my grip
When I’ve held on for so long
I am beginning to realize that there is no end,
The pain, I wish it away,
But the memories will forever stay
Finally it leaves me in the dust it makes
Making me give up and walk the rest
After every night comes a new day
Where I must start over yet again
And try to run away.
