Run So Far Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You fly
Out as your smile wears thin
And I sigh
Knowing the mess you're in

[Chorus]
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Lonely days, heavy heart
No escape, can only run so far

[Verse 2]
I know
Something I ought to say
Stuck here
Trying to find a way

[Chorus]
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Lonely nights, blue guitar
No way out, can only run so far
Lonesome tears at the bar
One way street, can only run so far
[Verse 3]
I pray
That you might make it through
Those teardrops
Now seems a part of you

[Chorus]
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Falling down, under par
Can't get out, can only run so far
Lonely days, heavy heart
No escape, can only run so far
Lonesome tears at the bar
One way street, can only run so far

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
