Race against myself

lyricscopy.com
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I´ve been coming up empty
I´ve run as fast
As I can run
I´ve pushed as hard as anyone
Still there´s nothing for me...Oh!
(And I want)
I´ve tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself
Burning out
Strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted
For my pain
I have none
After all is said and done
Now I´m back where I started...Oh!
(And I want)
I´ve gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself
Ooh... Ooh...
(And I want)
I´ve tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself
Against myself
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I´ve been coming up empty
I´ve run as fast
As I can run
I´ve pushed as hard as anyone
Still there´s nothing for me...Oh!
(And I want)
I´ve tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself
Burning out
Strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted
For my pain
I have none
After all is said and done
Now I´m back where I started...Oh!
(And I want)
I´ve gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself
Ooh... Ooh...
(And I want)
I´ve tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I´ve taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself
Against myself
