I KNOW WHO I WAS IN YOUR EYES
I KNOW THAT YOU THOUGHT I COULD DO BETTER
AND I KNOW JUST HOW HARD YOU TRIED
TO SHOW ME WE SHOULD DO THIS TOGETHER

AND I REMEMBER YOU WOULD STAND BY MY SIDE
AND TRIED TO ADVISE I WOULDN'T TAKE IT
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME AFTER TIME
I'D FALL OUT OF LINE CAUSE I COULDN'T FAKE IT

YOUR ADVICE WAS UNDERRATED
NEVER LISTENED WOULDN'T TAKE IT
BUT I DID SOMETHING RIGHT ALONG THE WAY
I WAS FINE WITH NEVER KNOWING
WHERE IT WAS THAT I WAS GOING
BUT IT SEEMED THAT I TURNED OUT OK

I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL KNOW THAT I’M GRATEFUL
JUST HAD TO GET HERE ON MY OWN
BUT NOW I’VE FOUND THAT I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK
YOU CAN TURN LEFT AND DON’T LOOK BACK
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY I'LL DO IT ALL THE SAME
THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD CHANGE

I HOPE YOU CAN SEE I’VE REARRANGED
AND THAT YOU’D NEVER CLAIMED TO KNOW BETTER
THOUGH IT'S WEIGHED ON MY MIND THAT YOUR WAY WASN'T MINE IT WASN'T WHERE I NEEDED TO GO

YOUR ADVICE WAS UNDERRATED
NEVER LISTENED WOULDN'T TAKE IT
BUT I DID SOMETHING RIGHT ALONG THE WAY
I WAS FINE WITH NEVER KNOWING
WHERE IT WAS THAT I WAS GOING
BUT IT SEEMED THAT I TURNED OUT OK

I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL KNOW THAT I’M GRATEFUL
JUST HAD TO GET HERE ON MY OWN
BUT NOW I’VE FOUND THAT I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK
YOU CAN TURN LEFT AND DON’T LOOK BACK
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY I'LL DO IT ALL THE SAME

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
BUT I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
BUT I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM

I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL KNOW THAT I’M GRATEFUL
JUST HAD TO GET HERE ON MY OWN
BUT NOW I’VE FOUND THAT I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK
YOU CAN TURN LEFT AND DON’T LOOK BACK
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY I'LL DO IT ALL THE SAME
THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD CHANGE

I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY YEAH I'LL DO IT ALL THE SAME
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY YEAH THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD CHANGE
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY YEAH I'LL DO IT ALL THE SAME
I'LL GO RIGHT ANYWAY YEAH THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD CHANGE

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
BUT I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
BUT I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM

WHAT HAVE I DONE? GONNA TURN THIS CAR AROUND
GONNA GIVE ANOTHER LAST CHANCE…… AGAIN

AND RIGHT ABOUT NOW
YOU’LL BE LOOKING AT THE HEADLIGHTS CREEP INTO THE DRIVE
ANYTIME NOW YOU’LL BE ASKING ME WHY

BUT I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD STAY WHEN I SHOULD GO
I KNOW IT’S EASY FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING INSIDE OUT
AND IF TRUST IS A CRIME YOU COULD TRY ME
ANYTIME WE BOTH STAND HERE ACCUSED
CAUSE IN THE END LOVE IS MY ONLY EXCUSE

WHAT IF YOU RUN?
DON’T TELL ME WHERE YOU GO TO
I WANNA GET MY LIFE BACK AGAIN
AND RIGHT ABOUT NOW
I COULD BE LOOKING AT THE HEADLIGHTS
CREEP OUT OF THE DRIVE
ANYTIME NOW
I’M GONNA OPEN MY EYES
I’M GONNA STAND UP AND FIGHT
I’M GONNA SET MYSELF FREE YOU’LL SEE AND

YOU’LL HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD STAY WHEN I SHOULD GO
I KNOW IT’S EASY FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING INSIDE OUT
AND IF TRUST IS A CRIME YOU COULD TRY ME
ANYTIME WE BOTH STAND HERE ACCUSED
CAUSE IN THE END LOVE IS MY ONLY EXCUSE

I’M HOLDING ON TO THE GOOD TIMES
NO MATTER HOW BAD THIS THING GETS
EVERY TIME I RUN OUT OF REASONS
MY HEART OVERTAKES MY HEAD

BUT I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD STAY WHEN I SHOULD GO
I KNOW IT’S EASY FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING INSIDE OUT
AND IF TRUST IS A CRIME YOU COULD TRY ME
ANYTIME WE BOTH STAND HERE ACCUSED
YEAH I STAND HERE ACCUSED
CAUSE IN THE END
LOVE IS MY ONLY EXCUSE

ARE YOU SCARED, COZ IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE EVERYBODY’S LOST THEIR MINDS, OUT THERE…
AND THEY SAID, IT’LL BE OK SOMEDAY BUT ITS GONNA TAKE TIME, TOO BAD…
SO I’M WONDERING IF I’LL EVER GET TO SEE THAT DAY IN MY LIFE
WHERE THE SIMPLE THINGS DON’T MAKE US WANT TO FIGHT
BUT WE’RE JUST…

RUNNING FROM WHAT IS REAL
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
ITS LIKE WE’RE GIVING UP, GIVING UP
WE KEEP ON, RUNNING, AWAY FROM HERE
WITH SO MUCH DAMAGE DONE
WE KEEP ON RUNNING AWAY, RUNNING AWAY
RUNNING AWAY.. WERE RUNNING AWAY KEEP RUNNING AWAY

SLOW DOWN, YOU’RE GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELF AND THE FACT THAT YOU WIN HMMM
AND LOOK AROUND, DO SOMETHING NEW AND STAND UP TO WHAT YOU DID UH OH
AND I’M PRAYING TO MYSELF THAT WE CAN FIX THE MESS WE’VE MADE
BUT WE DON’T WANNA TAKE THE BLAME
WE’RE JUST…

RUNNING FROM WHAT IS REAL
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
ITS LIKE WE’RE GIVING UP, GIVING UP
WE KEEP ON, RUNNING, AWAY FROM HERE
WITH SO MUCH DAMAGE DONE
WE KEEP ON RUNNING AWAY, RUNNING AWAY
RUNNING AWAY.. WERE RUNNING AWAY KEEP RUNNING AWAY

WE GOTTA SAY NO MORE… WE’VE COME TOO FAR…
WE WANNA KNOW WHO WE ARE, WE ARE
WE GOTTA SAY NO MORE… WE’VE COME TOO FAR…
WE WANNA KNOW WHO WE ARE, WE ARE
