[Verse 1]
Leave me to my delusion
Tell me what to say when the day is stealing
Every illusion
I'm hoping, praying in vain that you'll say
That we'll start again
[Chorus]
I can't outrun the days gone by
You still got a hold on my heart
But you're worth every tear I cry
You still got a hold and there's no letting go
[Verse 2]
Sometimes when I'm still dreaming
I listen and I could swear that I hear you singing
Off in the distance
You're waiting for me to join the next line
But I pantomime
[Chorus]
And I can't outrun the days gone by
You still got a hold on my heart
But you're worth every tear I cry
You still got a hold and there's no letting go
[Bridge]
Just like the sky surrenders the rain falling down
I keep on flying and crashing that plane into your killing ground
Every explosion knowing my soul is glory-bound
Then you can write on my grave that the love I gave you
Saved you while I slowly drowned, yeah
[Chorus]
I can't outrun the days gone by
You still got a hold on my heart
But you're worth every tear I cry
You still got a hold on my heart
I can't outrun the days gone by
You still got a hold on my heart
But you're worth every tear I cry
You still got a hold and there's no letting go
