Think about it You can't run from yourself It's an impossibility You can't run from yourself Face up to reality Do you not like who you are? Did I hear you say you wish you were a star? Well, stars have problems too The same as me and you So climb into your smoke Ha, ha, that's a joke 'Cause when that air clears Your problems will still be there You can't run from yourself It's an impossibility You can't run from yourself Face up to reality Come on with it A-one more time I wanna go higher I'm just tellin' you the truth Don't get me wrong I do things too Now listen This is your life and time Why must you be blind? Stop takin' on losin' prescribed pills They can't kill your ills One pill takes you up The other pill brings you down Don't you think it's time, my friend To get off that merry-go-round? I'm with him You can't run from yourself It's an impossibility You can't run from yourself Face up to reality You can't run from yourself You can't run, you can't hide You can't run from yourself 'Cause the problem lives inside
