In the basement of the church I took the last chair in the room Embarrassed and ashamed But that all began to change When she stood up and spoke her truth She said I came here years ago When I lost my sanity I hit an alltime low But then I found serenity I took shelter hiding from the pain In any place to make it go away In the arms of a stranger Keeping company with danger Or staring down the barrel of a gun At the bottom of a bottle Getting numb with every swallow Cause its easy, when its what youve always done With a million ways to run I was the first one out the door But her words echoed in my head I took the long way home But no longer felt alone Cause Id lived everything she said You might also likeI thought about lost moments of my past And then I knew, there was no going back To the arms of a stranger Keeping company with danger Or staring down the barrel of a gun The bottom of a bottle Getting numb with every swallow Cause its easy, when its what youve always done With a million ways to run Theres a freedom I have found In staying on the ground Long enough to chase those demons down And I thank God I know Im not the only one With a million ways to run
