Running In Place

(アルバム： Coming Up Roses - 2022)

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretending I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on

Here we are in conversation
Nothing's changed and I'm still hanging on to
Every single word you say
Caught up in my frustration
My heart races, that high I'm chasing
Every time I hear your name

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretending I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, carry on
I can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been trying
But my heart's losing faith
'Cause living without you is like running in place

So why are we both pretending
That these questions are open-ended
When we know what we need to say? Oh
Was it the timin'? Was it the fightin'?
Was the writing on the wall?
I'd swallow my pride if you throw me a line
And I can't deny that

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretending I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, carry on
I can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been trying
But my heart's losing faith
'Cause living without you is like running in place

Was it the timin'? Was it the fightin'?
Was the writing on the wall?
I'd swallow my pride if you throw me a line
And I can't deny that

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretending I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, oh
Can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been trying
But my heart's losing faith
'Cause living without you is like running
Running in place (Running, runnin')
'Cause living without you is like running in place
