Song lyrics

Send "Carousel" ringtones to your cell

She can’t hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguised behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight
Staring at her inside

All her friends know why she can’t sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all shes gotta do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
(I'm too weak to face 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

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 its 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 cant get off the carousel until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
(I'm too weak to face 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

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 

Just follow me
(I'll never know just why you run)
And i'll show you what you wanna see
Just follow me
(So far away, away from me)
And i'll show you what you wanna see

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

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal im kind of wondering is Mike self injured, also. He might have, although ive always read he grew up in a good place. Chester was sexually abused as a child and then turned to drugs. That much I know. But as for Mike....ill have to do some research

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal As an Former member of I have an addiction problem club, this song rings completely true form me. In fact the part of the lyrics you really don't hear but are on the lyric page are dealing with finding and turning you will over to a higher power. and I quote: Fly with me upon the wings i gave you Try to be closer to me i'll save you Fly with me upon the wings i gave you Try to be closer to me i'll save you Just follow me And i'll show you what you wanna see Trust me I have been on a journey of recovery for quite sometime and it wasn't until I basically did what I quoted from the song that I was able to beat my own demons..... I think this song was inspired by Chester's own journey. I am glad he is so truthful about the diease of addiction in this song.... And BTW I am a 30 something guy who loves LP....
