Running In Place

I know that I've let everybody down
I spin my wheels but I keep losing ground
And I'm not going anywhere
While others run the race
It seems I'm only running in place
I've run away but I can't run from myself
Can't put the blame on anybody else
One step up and two steps back
Can't keep up with the pace
It seems I'm only running in place
And in my dreams
The trophy's mine
The crowd cheers when I
Cross that finish line
I know that I've let everybody down
It's time to turn this crazy thing around
Take my head out of my hands
Wipe the tears off of my face
'Cause I need to do something
Yes I've got to stop running
It's time to get back into the race
Gonna stop running in place
