Sad story, sad tale I'll tell
That everybody knows
The door slams, the neighbors- they sigh
And everybody knows
There's a way to act and there's a way to answer now
It's a battle sometimes
Where he's been ain't where you're going now
You never know
But there's an afterglow of laughter, burning white
That runs you like a freight train, honey
Back, back tonight
You run in place, you're running back,
You're running back tonight
You run in place, you're running back
We should be running out tonight
So let's make a pact that you won't ever feed that fire again
Well it's a sad story, a sad truth
But everybody's got stories because everybody's been bruised
Wake up love, wake up- answer me now
You know you're not alone
