If I ran so far that my life can't follow me
Would it keep the world from up and swallowin' me?
Well, there's so much to weigh me down that I can hardly breathe

And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last
And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast

If I didn't look back and I changed my name
Would I find my new life exactly the same?
I'm lookin' at an empty future that I already blame

And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last
And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast

I've put it all behind me
Just to have it one day find me
And now I'm just this far from gone, hey

And so I'm leavin' here on every cent
That I could borrow
Lord only knows just where I'll be tomorrow

And I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last
And I, I, I, well I'm fadin'

I don't want to think about it
But I don't want this pain to last
And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast
Yeah, I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast
