"Runaway Train" lyrics

You're a wrecking ball
You're a cannonball
Indestructible
Like the Chinese wall
You're a tidal wave
Washing over me
You just devastate
Whoever you meet
So I stand and wait
At the boarding gate
Got my ticket paid
Oh, my train's delayed
'Cause I need more time
To change my mind
My [?] now
My train just arrived

The more that I fight it
The more you just tighten your grip on me

Oh, I've been down this road before
So I know where it ends
You'll convince me to love you
Then hurt me again
A passenger on a burning train
Oh, I'm doomed if I stay
So I'm getting off before
This runaway train pulls away

I know you love the chase
'Cause you love the thrill
You see me that's played
So you sink to kill
And soon as I'm dead
And you've been fed
You just meet me there
With my heart to bare

The more that I struggle
The more you just tuggle my weak heartstrings

Oh, I've been down this road before
So I know where it ends
You'll convince me to love you
Then hurt me again
A passenger on a burning train
Oh, I'm doomed if I stay
So I'm getting off before
This runaway train pulls away

You'll help me play the clown for the crowd in your cirque du soleil
And I know you let me down, over and over again
I can't deny it, I'm wasting my time and commitment on you
It ain't surprising 'cause I've been a fool

The more that I fight it
The more you just tighten your grip on me

Oh, I've been down this road before
So I know where it ends
You'll convince me to love you
Then hurt me again
A passenger on a burning train
Oh, I'm doomed if I stay
So I'm getting off before
This runaway train pulls away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm getting off before it pulls away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm getting off before this runaway train pulls away
