(I realise)
  All I want
  All I need
  Always lies just out of reach
  I've been coming up empty
  
  (I realise)
  I ran as fast as I can run
  I pushed as hard as anyone
  But still there's nothing for me
  
  (And I want)
  I've tried as hard as I can
  (And I need)
  I've taken all I can stand
  (And I fall)
  But I am running a race
  Against myself
  Against myself, yeah
  
  (I realise)
  Running out, struggle on
  Am I sorrow as my song
  My whole world is half parted
  
  (I realise)
  For my pain I have none
  After all is said and done
  Now I'm back where I started
  
  (And I want)
  I've gone as far as I can
  (And I need)
  I've taken all I can stand
  (And I fall)
  But I am running a race
  Against myself
  Against myself, yeah
  
  (And I want)
  I've tried as hard as I can
  (And I need)
  I've taken all I can stand
  (And I fall)
  But I am losing the race
  Against myself
  Against myself, yeah
  
  Against myself
