lyrics

sugar ache in my teeth cycle down the broken street
eyes falling shut been running on empty
heart in my throat eyes on the pavement splits
always trying to clear my mind of everything

and i remember the days that you used to want me
remember the days you waited up for me
so you could say good night before you passed out
i try to forget but sometimes it haunts me
the pain in your eyes the last time you saw me
it doesn’t do me any good to think about now

i’m running from all the things i don’t want to face
i’m running from all the things i can’t bear to say

nothing you can say to make this better
nothing that won’t be in my head forever
no way to leave this all behind and start again
nothing i can do to get away from it
hard as i try, it’s still here, stubborn
that doesn’t mean i still won’t try to outpace

and i remember the days that you used to want me
remember the days you waited up for me
so you could say good night before you passed out
i try to forget but sometimes it haunts me
the pain in your eyes the last time you saw me
it doesn’t do me any good to think about now

i’m running from all the things i don’t want to face
i’m running from all the things i can’t bear to say

have you watched me hold my breath
to keep it all unsaid?
it spells a certain death
trying to escape my head

i’m running from all the things i don’t want to face
i’m running from all the things i can’t bear to say
