Heaven knows it hurts to feel nothing at all

When you're staring in the eyes of the mirror hanging on the wall

It's hard to face the truth or find a place to hide

Oh, when you numb it more and more

'cause you're scared of what you're gonna find.

I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out

Hold down the throttle, take the long way around

Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat.

I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind

I could run forever like the road don't end

But I'm running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell

'cause I can't outrun myself.

I had to hit my knees and learn to walk again

Oh, I'm stumbling and falling

Giving it all I got to give

'cause I'd rather be living in the light with my shadow

Than alone in the dark 'cause I've been there and I know.

I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out

Hold down the throttle, take the long way around

Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat.

Oh, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind

I could run forever like the road don't end

But I'm running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell

Oh, I can't outrun myself

Can't outrun myself.

I could run to the bottle till the bottle runs out

Hold down the throttle, take the long way around

Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat.

Yeah, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind

I could run forever like the road don't end

But I'm running out of reasons to keep running like a bat out of hell

Oh, I can't outrun myself.

Outrun myself

Can't outrun myself

Oh-oh...

Outrun myself.
