Heaven knows it hurts to feel nothing at all

When you're starin' in the eyes of the mirror hangin' 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 'til 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 runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' 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 stumblin' and fallin'

Givin' it all I got to give

'Cause I'd rather be livin' 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 'til 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 runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' like a bat out of hell

Oh, I can't outrun myself

Can't outrun myself

I could run to the bottle 'til 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 runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' like a bat out of hell

Oh, I can't outrun myself

Outrun myself

Can't outrun myself

Oh-oh

Outrun myself
