you went straight
but i took a left
i couldn't keep up
you were miles ahead
i braced myself and ran away
as far as my legs could carry me
so i fall from grace
won't you break my fall
i don't have what it takes
won't you take my all
you gave me an inch and i took a yard
you loved me so and i broke your heart
i'm taking off
i'm running on
i'm not looking back
it will be all uphill from here
i'm not going to
i'm not going to crack
you noticed me
but i could not care less
i just wanted out
have a life of my own
