Genesis - Run Out Of Time lyrics

Ooh hear me, ooh hear me

Time to tell the truth, no more lying

By the light of a candle

Through the base of a wineglass

You could almost take me for the real thing

But I know in my heart of hearts

I could never live up to what you want me to be

In the heat of temptation in a moment of crisis

I could never, never, never be what you need

Hard as I might try

I've run of luck

I've almost run out of time

Ooh forgive me, ooh forgive me

I don't mean to share all my fears

Like the man in the middle

Says he just passes on decision

I could always find someone to put the blame on

But I know in my heart of hearts

There is nobody else it was me from the start

As God is my witness, no matter the score

I could never, I could never not do it again

Hard as I might try

I've run of luck, I've run out of time

I've almost run out of tears

--------

I've run of luck, I've run out of time

I've almost run out of tears

--------

Ooh believe me, ooh believe me

I don't mean to hurt you, no more crying

A wolf needs no reason to hunt and kill it's prey

He could no more change than give up breathing

So I know in my heart of hearts

I will always be the way that I am

In the joy of a moment, in the blackest despair

I will never, never, never let anyone in

Hard as I might try

I've run of luck, I've run out of time....
