I search for something to fill the void
I run desperately, running here and there
Searching for another way
Desperate to know where, if somewhere
There is a place meant for me
A place to belong, to be free
A home in someone's arms
A place only my spirit, my soul can see
My heart, it's laid bare
And yet you don't laugh at me
Are you really sure?
Can it be that you are blind?
If not, if you can really see
Then why don't you turn away from me?
I have such an ugly soul
How can you still smile?
I've wondered and pondered
About that for a while
Could it be that from the start
You could see straight into my heart?
Afraid of being rejected
Having never been protected
I run away, I run desperately
You reach so deeply
In to me that I wonder
If half my soul was displaced
Somehow torn asunder
Within you, half placed
Until I find the light
At the end of the tunnel
I'll keep on running
Keep on trying to escape
Keep on trying and trying
Until I'm caught in my own web
Until I myself miss a step
And then I'll fall as I rise
It will be my cowardice's demise
