How does it feel? What is it like? To have everything you ever wanted Right before your very eyes Is it a dream? Or is it real life? When all the things you thought Would bring you happiness keep you up at night [Pre-Chorus:] Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare Oh, oh, I’m trying to keep it I’m just trying to keep it together Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare Oh, oh, I’m trying to keep it I’m just trying to keep it from getting there John and Lisa So sorry to hear that you’re really Giving up on your marriage after 14 years “Is it something I did?” think all of the kids As they pack their bags and head off west To where their mama now lives [Pre-Chorus] Running from a monster Feel like I’m running from a monster I keep running from a monster Feel like I’m Runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and Runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and runnin’ and Ooh, and I guess I’ve run the wrong way How could I have been so blind? Well I guess I’m just a fool then To think that it would all disappear in time I asked my mother She said, “Sorry to say But in forty years plus I’ve realized there’s no getting away Sure, you can try But no, you can’t hide When the thing you’re often running from Is living on the inside.” [Pre-Chorus] I’m trying hard But I can’t keep it together No, no, no, no No, no, no I need your help Save me from myself I’ve been running from me all along I don’t know what I will make of my life If you don’t right all my wrongs I’ve been running for so long And I’m not getting anywhere Can you please come rescue from this nightmare? I feel like I’m running I’m so tired of running I’m so tired of running And getting nowhere fast I’m running and going nowhere Really, I’m tired I’m tired, I’m so tired
