I Will Run

There she sits inside my head.
Her words, like thunder echo in
Stealing my security.
Left to wander, aimlessly.

And i have seen her face and I know the pain she bears.
Oh I have seen this depth of despair.
And when I hear her voice, when i hear her call my name,
I want to run . . . But I just fall again.

There she stays inside my will.
What danced in motion, now stands still.
Leaving me a broken soul.
Empty of the love i've known.

And then I see her face andIi see the pain she wears.
oh I can see this depth of despair.
And when I hear her voice, when I hear her call my name,
I want to run . . . But I just fall again.

Down to the breaking of this moment.
Down where my darkness hits the wall.
I pray to god I think about it.
And not surrender to the fall.

For I have seen her face so many times before.
and I'll be strong enough to rise once more.
For when I hear her voice when I hear her call my name.
oh I will run . . .for I'll not fall again.
