Lyrics

How does it feel?
What is it like to have everything you
Ever wanted right before your very eyes?
Is it a dream?
Or is it real life when all the things you thought
Would bring you happiness keep you up at night?
Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare
Oh, oh, I'm trying to keep it, I'm just trying to keep it together
Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare, yeah
Oh, oh, I'm trying to keep it, I'm just
Trying to keep it from getting there
John and Lisa, so sorry to hear
That you're really giving up on your marriage after 40 years
"Was it something I did?"
Think all of the kids as they pack their bags
And head off west to where their mama now lives
Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare, yeah
Oh, oh, I'm trying to keep it, yes
I'm just trying to keep it together
Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare, yeah
Oh, oh, I'm trying to keep it, I'm just trying to keep it together
Running from a monster
Feel like I'm running from a monster
I, I keep running from a monster
Feel like I'm running and running and running and
Running and running and running and running and running
And I guess I've run the wrong way
How could I have been so blind?
Well, I guess I'm just a fool, then
To think that it would all disappear in time
I asked my mother
She said, "Sorry to say, but in 40 years
Plus I've realized there's no getting away
Sure, you can try, but no, you can't hide
When the thing you're often running from is living on the inside."
Oh, oh, life can be such a nightmare
You know, oh, and I can't keep it, no, I, no, I can't keep it together
Oh, life can be such a nightmare
No, no, I'm trying hard but I can't keep it together
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, I need your help
Save me from myself
I've been running from me all along
I don't know what I will make of my life
If you'll go right all my wrong
I've been running for so long
And I'm not getting anywhere
Can you please come rescue me from this nightmare?
I feel like I'm running
And I'm so tired of running
Said I'm so tired of running and getting nowhere fast
I'm running and going nowhere
Really, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm so tired
