Emerson Drive - Running Back to You lyrics

(Richard Marx)

I haven't been myself these days

Trying to see through a deep blue haze

Wondering if my life will ever be the same

Even though the giving in is easier than startin' over again

Don't expect to hear me call your name

(Chorus:)

I shout at the walls, hold my breath 'til I fall

But it won't get the better of me

I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory

That you used to be

Goin' nowhere fast, put my foot on the gas

Howlin' at the moon

But I won't come running on back to you

I bet you think I'm drinking too much

Spend every moment longing for your touch

That I'm in little bitty pieces on the floor

Well, I've made up mind this'll be the last time

And you held me to my word

The night you walked our future out that door

(Chorus)

Don't ask me where we went wrong

You were weak, baby, now I must be strong... yeah

Chorus 2:

I shout at the walls, hold my breath 'til I fall

But it won't get the better of me

I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory

Where you used to be

I won't back down when you come back around

No matter what you do

But I won't come running on back to you

No, It won't get the better of me

I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory

Where you used to be

Goin' nowhere fast with my foot on the gas

Howlin' at the moon

But I won't come running on back to you
