She took all the time and she gave it all away Never stopped to look or believe in herself she always played catch-up with herself she's always chasing great figures in her life, she could never make them stay All the time she was runnin', tryin' to keep up Never turned her head to the left or right to see if she should stop Always movin', runnin' from place to place Always thought if she caught up she'd be able to save some face but Baby, don't you know, if you run too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla** Baby, don't you know, if you move too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla** One night as she rested at the back of a lonely bar She caught my eye. She was so beautifully preoccupied
So I took a seat and I began a conversation Bought love and dreams, comin' clean, and what you begin Said it's been at least two years, since she spoke to any friends They always betray her, she can't take it again. She'd rather keep on movin' than to deal with the pain within I said, "You're very interesting" and our conversation ends Baby, don't you know, if you run too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla** Baby, don't you know, if you move too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla** Baby, don't you know, if you run too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla** Baby, don't you know, if you move too fast All your time is wasted trying to go over broken gla**
