Lyrics You Can't Run from Yourself - Rose Royce

You Can't Run from Yourself

A-one more time
Hey, yeah
I got a message for you
What’s the sense in runnin'?
You can’t get away
Go back to bed, pull the covers over your head
That will make your problems go away
Tell me, why do you try
To hide in a bottle?
Since when has drinkin' helped your thinkin'?
Think about it
You can’t run from yourself
It’s an impossibility
You can’t run from yourself
Face up to reality
Do you not like who you are?
Did I hear you say you wish you were a star?
Well, stars have problems too
The same as me and you
So climb into your smoke
Ha, ha, that’s a joke
'Cause when that air clears
Your problems will still be there
You can’t run from yourself
It’s an impossibility
You can’t run from yourself
Face up to reality
Come on with it
A-one more time
I wanna go higher
I’m just tellin' you the truth
Don’t get me wrong
I do things too
Now listen
This is your life and time
Why must you be blind?
Stop takin' on losin' prescribed pills
They can’t kill your ills
One pill takes you up
The other pill brings you down
Don’t you think it’s time, my friend
To get off that merry-go-round?
I’m with him
You can’t run from yourself
It’s an impossibility
You can’t run from yourself
Face up to reality
You can’t run from yourself
You can’t run, you can’t hide
You can’t run from yourself
'Cause the problem lives inside
