I've had ghosts of my past
Come back to greet me
Big white smiles in their eyes
I go blind looking back
Pray they can't see me
Pray they won't let me be
Cause i can't outrun outrun outlive myself
Outrun outrun my shadow
I wish i'd learned
To take heat of all the signs
I wish i could turn
Back the hands of all mankind
It's the saddest of truths
Seen it with my own brown eyes
If you play with fire
You'll get burned in life
And i wish i could have known
The way fate would use me
Took my life in her hands
The things she'd do to me
Yet i'd never complain
I'd always go through it
The pain's a part of the pain
I'll run out smart out with myself
Outrun out smart my shadow
I wish i'd learned
To take heed of all the signs
I wish i could turn
Back the hands of all mankind
It's the saddest of truths
Seen it with my own brown eyes
If you play with fire you'll get burned alive
No turns no regrets
No lessons learned
This is all that we get
Yeah that's just how it goes
The good and bad it takes it's toll
Before we get old
I wish i learned to take heat of all the signs
I wish i could turn
Back the hands of all the time
It's the saddest of truths
Singing with my own brown eyes
If you play with fire you'll get burned alive
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh uh huh uh huh
