The team [Carousel demo] lyrics

[1st Verse:]

She can't hide, no matter how hard she tries,

her secret disguise behind her lies.

And at night, she cries away her pride

with eyes shut tight and staring at her insides.

All her friends know why she can't sleep at night,

all her family's asking if she's alright.

All she wants to do is get rid of this hell.

Well, all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself.

[1st Pre-Chorus:]

She can only fool herself for so long.

(She can only fool herself for so long.)

She can only fool herself for so long.

(You're too weak to face me.)

[Chorus:]

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

[2nd Verse:]

When it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told.

Says he's got it all under control.

Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with

but, in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit.

An addict and he can't hold the reins.

The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same.

Tries to slow down the problem he's got

but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop.

[2nd Pre-Chorus:]

He can only fool himself for so long.

(He can only fool himself for so long.)

He can only fool himself for so long.

(You're too weak to face me.)

[Chorus:]

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

[1st Bridge:]

Fly with me under the wings I gave you.

Try to be closer to me and I'll save you.

Fly with me under the wings I gave you.

Try to be closer to me and I'll save you.

[2nd Bridge:]

Just follow me !

(I never know just why you run...)

And I'll show you what you want to see.

Just follow me !

(...so far away, away from me.)

And I'll show you what you want to see.

[Chorus / Outro:]

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.

I never know just why you run

so far away, far away from me.
