These lyrics were inspired by a poem written by Dixy Mae. I had some guitar chords and a melody, but couldn't come up with the lyrics until I read her poem. The idea is a little different, but I hope it gives a new meaning to her original thoughts.

I'm trying to run away from you But you keep circling back to me Across the room It's you I see My eyes get hazy from our history A conversation, then you go I can't decide if it's just me The weight of you Brings me down upon my knees And I'm still trying to forget you And I'm still lying to my mind And I'm still trying to run away from me I let you in and you changed me I'm thankful for all of the things you taught me But now you've caught me In an unfamiliar place And I'm still trying to forget you And I'm still lying to my mind And I'm still trying to run away from me Running away From feeling so empty Running away It always seems like I can't tell If it was real or just a dream And I've learned all I can learn from you I don't know what I would do without you But I will try To live my own true life And I'm still trying to forgive you And I'm still trying to be free And I'm still trying to run away from me
