If not this

Location

Tonight I can't stop the tears
I feel the soul of another rising up 
Someone stronger is being urged to take over
I want to run far away
Knowing I'm not alone in this
I want to run far away

Sincerely knowing what to do is not enough
You need to feel the pull of destiny
You must learn to care for it's tiniest of desires

Time runs and I run faster
Someone save me
Save me 
I'm running away from my own self
I'm running away from destiny

feel the pull of destiny
care for it's tiniest of desires

I feel the growing tension
as I pull farther and farther from it's course
the tension makes quivers in my stomach 
I can't breathe easy

Tonight I can't stop the tears
and the tears turn into reflections
of who I was suppose to be

so who was i suppose to be
if not this?
