Heaven knows it hurts to feel nothing at all
When you’re staring in the eyes of the mirror hanging on the wall
It’s hard to face the truth or find a place to hide
Oh, when you numb it more and more
‘Cause you’re scared of what you’re gonna find
I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don’t end
But I’m running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell
‘Cause I can’t outrun myself
I had to hit my knees and learn to walk again
Oh, I’m stumbling and falling
Giving it all I got to give
‘Cause I’d rather be living in the light with my shadow
Than alone in the dark ’cause I’ve been there and I know
I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
Oh, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don’t end
But I’m running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell
Oh, I can’t outrun myself
Can’t outrun myself
I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
Yeah, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don’t end
But I’m running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell
Oh, I can’t outrun myself
Outrun myself
Can’t outrun myself
Oh-oh
Outrun myself
