I started to see a pleasant future in your face
The glimmer of your eyes made me feel relieved
"Finally it will be worth it - running this race"
But as the days passed and passed I ceased to believe

I will not try
Too hard or even hard at all
What's the use?
Doesn't everyone say if someone wants you they will begin to pursue?
So I run
And I run
and run

But am I only running back into your arms?
I can't control my fingers or the new found sweat on my palms
I do not enjoy it
But I do not detest it
I just wish that I could know
So I didn't have to purely guess it

Love me not?
Love me so?
Should I let it rot?
Or stay swelled with hope?

So I run
and I run
and run

But I fear
I do not know
Which way I am running
Away from?
or
To you?
To you.

My fingers continue to shake, and my breath makes my chest ache
I never condoned such feelings
Or even feeling at all
What is it that makes me break my boundaries?
I think that it is head over heart
My mind creating the perfect scenario of comfort so my heart abides
It isn't real, nor is it right
But I will be safe
If you only so agree
To follow me into all the empty spaces

Follow me into all the empty spaces.
