lyrics

V1:
You ran out of the fire and into the flame
Seems like the pain you fled had another name
I know you figured by now you’d have come out ahead
You fear your last-ditch hope was another dead end

PC:
But don’t you start to give up the fight
You’ve come a long long way from home
And if you could see who I’m seeing tonight
You’d see a strength you didn’t know

C:
It’s been a long road but you’re running to redemption, honey
You’ve got your sorrows
It’s hard to hide it when the tears keep coming
When you’re running on fumes just trying to forget
All the fears you fear haven’t happened yet
It’s been a long road but you’re running to redemption, honey

V2:
You’re tired of being so tired and giving your best
When all your effort leads to another day’s stress
You try to lighten your load and give love a chance
But holding on’s much harder than simple romance

C:

B:
You fear that the compassion’s got you down
You’d spend all your hope and try to skip town
But won’t you hold your horses till your feet hit the ground
And you see

C:
