"Why Do I Run?"

Do you remember the beginning of the end
My heart turned back into stone again
I didn't listen to a single word you said
So I carried on like I never had

Every breakdown
Is a breakthrough
Oh, I believe it's true

So why do I run
Why do I run
Away from you, am I hiding from the sun?
Why do I run
Why do I run
When I face the light, do I see what I've become?
What I've become

Do you recall the time I heard your voice
The sound resounding behind all of the noise
Cause I can't forget, was presented with a choice
To turn a cry of anguish into one of rejoice

So why do I run
Why do I run
Away from you, am I hiding from the sun?
Why do I run
Why do I run
When I face the light, do I see what I've become?

Should be an easy decision
But lies seep in through my heart's incision
And cloud my vision
Until the love you're giving
Is ridden with half-truths and misconceptions
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
But only because of the sight I've been given
A ribbon of hope, like a rope that I'm gripping
So desperately

And yet I still run
Yeah, I still run
Away from you, am I hiding from the sun?
To settle down in my own shadows
Awake to the depths, yet embrace the shallow
Still so inept in what I deem hallowed
Don't let me be
