Running Again

There’s only so much

So much that I can take

Before I buckle

Beneath this crushing weight

There’s only so much

So much that I can bear

Before my knees give way

Before my spirit breaks

 

I am not a perfect man

I can not fulfill your desires

I am not undefeatable

I can not withstand any more

 

I set my face like flint

Against this enemy

Of my soul

But my resistance

Has failed me once again

There’s only so much

So much pain I can endure

Before my will is broken

Before resolve has crumbled

 

I am not the man I want to be

I can not be who you think I am

I am not without a back up plan

I will run away almost every time

 

Now what do you see

When you look at me

Now what do you see

When our eyes meet

Now what do you see

When you think of me

Now what do you see

When I turn away

 

I am not a perfect man

I am not the man I want to be

I can not fulfill your desires

I can not be who you think I am

I am not undefeatable

I am not without a back up plan

I can not withstand any more

I am running again
