I always end up running away


When the going gets tough


When it's time to go uphill



I just shut the engine off


It's not that I don't want it now


I just don't want to be caught



Where my closest enemies are now friends


But my friends get cut off




I'm just too honest sometimes


I just don't know where to draw the line




So far from home now


But somehow not far enough


And I want you like I wanted you then



My diamond in the rough


Because I told you that I loved you then


And I swear it's still true



I just don't know what I'd do with my life


If I can't have you




I always end up running away


When the going gets tough


When it's time to go uphill



I just shut the engine off...
