Nowhere to Run
Phil Collins Lyrics

Nowhere to run to, baby
The feeling of being trapped and having no escape from my thoughts and emotions about you, regardless of how much I want to run and hide.

Got nowhere to hide
Feeling exposed and vulnerable to the pain that I know you will bring, with no safe place to protect myself.

I got nowhere to run to, baby
Feeling completely stuck and unable to avoid or evade the hurt and heartbreak that I know is coming because of my attachment to you.

Got nowhere to hide
Feeling completely naked and unprotected from the inevitable suffering that I know you will cause me.

It's not love
Realizing that my emotions and attachment to you are not stemming from love, but from something else altogether.

I'm running from
Trying to escape from the impending pain and sadness that I know will happen if I stay with you.

It's the heartbreak
The agony and sadness that I will feel when you inevitably hurt me and break my heart.

I know will come
Feeling certain and confident that the pain and heartbreak I expect will occur because of my attachment to you.

'Cause I know
Being acutely aware of and certain about the negative effects you have on me and my emotions.

You're no good for me
Realizing that being with you is hurting me and causing more harm than good.

But you've become
Despite the pain and struggles of being with you, I have become accustomed to your presence and influence in my life.

A part of me
Feeling like you are an integral part of my life and my identity, even though I know I should let you go.

Everywhere I go
Feeling like you are constantly with me, no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Your face I see
Your image dominates my thoughts and emotions, regardless of what I am actually looking at or paying attention to.

Every step I take
Feeling like you are always one step ahead of me, leading me forward and dragging me down at the same time.

You take with me, yeah
Feeling like you are a part of every move and action I take, even when you are not actually present.

I know you're
Being aware of the negative effects and consequences of my attachment to you.

No good for me
Realizing that my relationship with you is causing me more harm than good, and that I need to detach myself from you for the sake of my own well-being.

But free of you
Acknowledging that separating myself from you is the best thing I can do for myself and my emotional health.

I'll never be, no
Realizing that, even though separating from you is the best thing for me, I will always feel your impact on my life.

Each night as I sleep
Feeling like you are invading my dreams and my subconscious, even when I am trying to forget about you.

Into my heart you creep
Feeling like you are infiltrating my thoughts and my emotions, even when I am trying to push you out of my mind.

I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Feeling regret and remorse for ever getting involved with you and allowing you to have such a profound effect on my life.

Hoping soon that I'll forget you
Wishing and hoping that I will be able to detach from you and forget about the pain you have caused me.

When I look in the mirror
Being painfully reminded of you in every aspect of my life, even when looking at myself in the mirror.

To comb my hair
Even mundane tasks like combing my hair are tinged with the memory of you and your influence on me.

I see your face
Your image dominates my thoughts and my vision, even when I am not consciously thinking about you.

Just a-smiling there
Your image is forever present in my mind, even though there is nothing positive or happy in your influence on me.

How can I fight a lover
Feeling like I am powerless against your influence and your hold on me, despite knowing that our relationship is not healthy or productive.

That shouldn't leave
Being aware that our relationship is not healthy or sustainable, but being unable to break the attachment and detach from you.

When it's so deep, so deep
Realizing that the attachment and emotional dependence I have on you is all-encompassing and all-consuming, despite its negative effects.

Deep inside of me
Feeling like the emotional attachment I have to you is a part of my identity and my core, even though it is causing me so much pain.

when my love is so high
Feeling like the intensity of my emotions and attachment to you is beyond my control and beyond reason.

I can't get over it
Realizing that my emotional attachment to you is preventing me from letting go and moving on from a relationship that is not healthy or productive.

It's so wide
Feeling like the breadth and scope of my emotions and attachment to you is vast and inescapable.

That I can't get around it, no
Feeling like the emotional attachment I have to you is a blockade that prevents me from pursuing healthy and productive relationships with other people.

From you, baby
Feeling like I am trapped and imprisoned by my attachment to you, unable to move on and escape from the negative consequences of our relationship.

Just can't get away from you baby
Feeling like I am constantly connected to you and your negative influence, even when I try to break free from our relationship.

No matter how I try
Being unable to successfully detach and move on from our relationship, despite my best efforts and intentions.

Well I know you're no good for me
Being completely aware of the negative effects and consequences of my relationship with you.

Got nowhere to run to
Feeling trapped and imprisoned by my emotions and attachment to you, with no safe place or escape from the pain and heartbreak I know will come.

Got nowhere to hide
Feeling exposed and vulnerable to your negative influence and the pain that I know you will bring, with no safe place or protection to fall back on.

Got nowhere to run to, baby
Feeling completely trapped and unable to evade or avoid the negative consequences of my relationship with you.

Nowhere to hide
Being exposed and vulnerable to the negative consequences of my relationship with you, even when I try to escape or protect myself.

I got nowhere to run, baby
Feeling completely trapped and unable to escape the negative consequences of my relationship with you, no matter how much I try.

Got nowhere to hide
Feeling like I am completely exposed and vulnerable to your negative influence in my life, no matter how much I try to protect myself.

Got nowhere ro run, nowhere to hide
Feeling trapped and unable to escape the negative consequences of my attachment to you, with no safe place or protection to fall back on.

got nowhere to hide
Feeling completely exposed and vulnerable to your negative influence in my life, no matter how much I try to evade or escape from you.
