"Running In Place" lyrics

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretendin' I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on

Here we are in conversation
Nothing's changed and I'm still hangin' on to
Every single word you say
Caught up in my frustration
My heart races, that high I'm chasin'
Every time I hear your name

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretendin' I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, carry on
I can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been tryin'
But my heart's losin' faith
'Cause livin' without you is like runnin' in place

So why are we both pretendin'
That these questions are open-ended
When we know what we need to say? Oh
Was it the timin'? Was it the fightin'?
Was the writin' on the wall?
I'd swallow my pride if you throw me a line
And I can't deny that

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretendin' I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, carry on
I can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been tryin'
But my heart's losin' faith
'Cause livin' without you is like runnin' in place

Was it the timin'? Was it the fightin'?
Was the writin' on the wall?
I'd swallow my pride if you throw me a line
And I can't deny that

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Pretendin' I don't love you
And the more that I try to carry on, oh
Can't outrun the pain
That's inside and I've been tryin'
But my heart's losin' faith
'Cause livin' without you is like runnin'
Runnin' in place (Runnin', runnin')
'Cause livin' without you is like runnin' in place
