Fighting to keep this alive 
Constantly fighting to keep myself going 
Dear friend, I haven't the slightest desire 
To help keep you going 

Keep to myself all the time 
(Kid it's better that way) 
Try to avoid all the lines 
(But I can't have you stay) 
And the things that they say 
Fighting to keep this alive 
(Kid it's better that way) 
Constantly fighting to keep myself going 
(But I can't have you stay) 

Please don't run from your problems 
You can't keep running, there's no place to go 

As you escape from your life 
This house becomes hollow 
And all we can do is just wait 
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive 
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes 
Constantly giving into these moments 
That just bring me down 
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around 

Keeping to yourself is no way to live your life 
You can't fight what's coming 
And all that you can do is sit back and realize, we'll be there 
Cause you keep waiting for someone to save you 
Embrace you and take you away, far away 
Take you so far from this place 

Running away, so far away 
Running away, so far away 
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here 
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here 

As you escape from your life 
This house becomes hollow 
And all we can do is just wait 
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive 
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes 
Constantly giving into these moments 
That just bring me down 
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around 

But I won't stay around
