If I ran so far that my life can't follow me   Would it keep the world from up and swallowin' me?   Well, there's so much to weigh me down that I can hardly breathe      And I don't want to think about it   But I don't want this pain to last   And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast      If I didn't look back and I changed my name   Would I find my new life exactly the same?   I'm lookin' at an empty future that I already blame      And I don't want to think about it   But I don't want this pain to last   And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast      I've put it all behind me   Just to have it one day find me   And now I'm just this far from gone, hey      And so I'm leavin' here on every cent   That I could borrow   Lord only knows just where I'll be tomorrow      And I don't want to think about it   But I don't want this pain to last   And I, I, I, well I'm fadin'      I don't want to think about it   But I don't want this pain to last   And I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast   Yeah, I, I, I, well I'm fadin' fast
