Lyrics
[Verse 1] I've had Ghosts of my past come back to greet me Big white smiles and their eyes I go blind looking back, pray they can't see me Pray they'll let me be [Hook] Cause I can't outrun, outsmart, outlive myself Outrun, outsmart my Shadow [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive, oh [Verse 2] I wish I could have known, the way fate would use me Took my life in her hands, the things she'd do to me Yet, I'd never complain, I'd always go through It (oh) The pain's a part of the Play (oh-oh) [Hook] Cause I can't outrun, outsmart, outlive myself Outrun, outsmart my Shadow [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive [Bridge] No returns, No regrets No lessons learned, this is all that we get Yeah, that's just how it goes The good and bad it takes it's toll before we get old, oh [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive
