I've run as fast as I can run
I've pushed as hard as anyone
Still there is nothing for me

(And I want...) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need...) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall...) But I am running a race against myself

Burning out, strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted

For my pain, I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started

(And I want...) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need...) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall...) But I am running a race against myself

(And I want...) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need...) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall...) But I am losing the race against myself
