Heart Run

I run away from my problems,
I know it's not good,
But when times get bad,
I tend to accelerate,
Into the wind,
Trying to forget everything for awhile.
Truly I'd do anything to keep that smile on my face if only for,
One...
More...
Minute...

Excuses constitute my life,
Leaving me in strife,
Will someone please cut the tension with a knife?
I clog my ears,
To prevent the tears,
Imagining what you said wouldn't make me fear.

Would you even care if I walked out of your life?
Would you miss me or would you say goodbye?
Would you beg for me to stay?
Or would it not matter to you anyway?

I don't know how much my heart can take,
Every time it breaks,
It gets tired of being mended with tape.
I run away so it doesn't completely
S H A T T E R,
To the ground,
All the pieces nowhere to be found.

Soon the tape'll split,
Bit by bit,
No one there to pick up the pieces,
So this is why I run away,
Because if I stay,
Reality would hit,
And I know that's something I can't take.
