IN THE BASEMENT
OF THE CHURCH
I TOOK THE LAST CHAIR
IN THE ROOM
EMBARRASSED
AND ASHAMED
BUT THAT ALL
BEGAN TO CHANGE
WHEN SHE STOOD UP
AND SPOKE HER TRUTH
SHE SAID I CAME
HERE YEARS AGO
WHEN I LOST MY SANITY
I HIT AN ALL TIME LOW
BUT THEN I FOUND SERENITY
I TOOK SHELTER
HIDING FROM THE PAIN
IN ANY PLACE
TO MAKE IT GO AWAY
IN THE ARMS OF
A STRANGER
KEEPING COMPANY
WITH DANGER
OR STARIN' DOWN
THE BARREL OF A GUN
AT THE BOTTOM
OF A BOTTLE
GETTIN' NUMB WITH
EVERY SWALLOW
IT'S EASY WHEN IT'S
WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS
DONE
WITH A MILLION
WAYS TO RUN
I WAS THE FIRST ONE
OUT THE DOOR
BUT HER WORDS
ECHOED IN MY HEAD
I TOOK THE LONG
WAY HOME
BUT NO LONGER
FELT ALONE
'CAUSE I'D LIVED
EVERYTHING SHE
SAID
I THOUGHT ABOUT
LOST MOMENTS OF
MY PAST
AND THEN I KNEW
THERE WAS
NO GOING BACK
TO THE ARMS OF
A STRANGER
KEEPING COMPANY
WITH DANGER
OR STARIN' DOWN THE
BARREL OF A GUN
AT THE BOTTOM OF
A BOTTLE GETTIN' NUMB
WITH EVERY SWALLOW
'CAUSE IT'S EASY WHEN
IT'S WHAT YOU'VE
ALWAYS DONE WITH A
MILLION WAYS TO RUN
THERE'S A FREEDOM
I HAVE FOUND
IN STAYING ON THE
GROUND
LONG ENOUGH TO CHASE
THOSE DEMONS
DOWN
AND I THANK GOD I
KNOW I'M NOT
THE ONLY ONE
WITH A MILLION
WAYS TO RUN
