Lyrics and translation

Original

When I fall back on my knees and I can't let go

When that look of desperation calls out my name

I forget how much it hurts me every time Still I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain

Yeah, I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain It keeps me sane Sane

I can't be tamed

Running through the fire When my heart beats faster It's in my veins Running to pain Is it the only way to tame

The demons inside That haunt my mind Fighting so, so much I leave it all behind Taking all the pain

It's all a waste

The tears on my face It's all a waste to know Let it go

Just let it go

When I fall back on my knees and I can't let go

When that look of desperation calls out my name

I forget how much it hurts me every time

Still I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain

Yeah, I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain It keeps me sane

Sane I can't be tamed

With you

Come and direct my life

I can't let go

Smooth like a jagged knife

I don't care who Taking all the pain It's all a waste The tears on my face It's all a waste to know Let it go

Just let it go

Running back to the pain Pain It keeps me sane

English translation

When I fall back on my knees and I can't let go

When that look of desperation calls out my name

I forget how much it hurts me every time Still I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain

Yeah, I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain It keeps me sane Sane

I can't be tamed

Running through the fire When my heart beats faster It's in my veins Running to pain Is it the only way to tame

The demons inside That haunt my mind Fighting so, so much I leave it all behind Taking all the pain

It's all a waste

The tears on my face It's all a waste to know Let it go

Just let it go

When I fall back on my knees and I can't let go

When that look of desperation calls out my name

I forget how much it hurts me every time

Still I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain

Yeah, I keep running, running, running, running back to the pain It keeps me sane

Sane I can't be tamed

With you

Come and direct my life

I can't let go

Smooth like a jagged knife

I don't care who Taking all the pain It's all a waste The tears on my face It's all a waste to know Let it go

Just let it go

Running back to the pain Pain It keeps me sane
