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)
