Lyrics
1> See these walls I put up to surround me? Empty space is all I hold inside.
I'm screamin' loud but I can't seem to make a sound; save me from the reaches of my mind.
I'm locked away from the feelings that I have; I cannot show the truth, cannot reveal.
Would you think less of me if I just fell apart? Buried away, I think I'll be OK...
Pre-Chorus> Don't break me down, no, don't break me down.
Won't let you break me down; I'm taking back control...
Chorus> I'm runnin' on a road to nowhere.
I run away from the demons that got me here.
Can't ya' see all the miles on my face?
I've spent my life runnin'... to Hell & back again...
2> See these walls I put up to surround me? Empty space is all I hold inside.
I'm screamin' loud but I can't seem to make a sound; save me from the reaches of my mind...
Pre-Chorus> Don't break me down, no, don't break me down.
Won't let you break me down; I'm taking back control...
Chorus> I'm runnin' on a road to nowhere.
I run away from the demons that got me here.
Can't ya' see all the miles on my face?
I've spent my life runnin'... to Hell & back again...
<Break>
Bridge> Momma' can't protect me & Daddy isn't here.
Love walked away & I'm still standing.
Don't try to break me down, please don't break me down.
I feel I'm breaking down & losing my control...
Chorus> I'm runnin' on a road to nowhere.
I run away from the demons that got me here.
Can't ya' see all the miles on my face?
I've spent my life runnin'... to Hell & back again...
Run away... run away... run away... I run away...
Run away... run away... run away... I run away...
