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

I hope it works out that way, Paul.
