When We Break – "Miles From Myself" (Official Audio)

“Miles from Myself” is a song about trying to outrun the pain inside you, only to realize it has been riding with you the whole time. It’s about leaving, changing, driving, disappearing — doing anything to feel like a different person — but still waking up with the same hurt in your chest. The song follows that desperate escape from shame, grief, and self-destruction, where every road forward somehow leads back to the wreckage you were trying to leave behind. This is about running from yourself until there’s nowhere left to go — and finally facing the truth that the distance never saved you. — Lyrics: I keep running But I’m still here I left my name in a dark room With the lights burned out Packed my shame in the backseat Tried to leave this town Every mile was a promise I could start again But the past kept breathing Down my neck again I can change the road I can change the sky But I still wake up With the same old fight I buried it deep But it learned to crawl Now it’s scratching through Every wall I CAN’T OUTRUN THE HURT WHEN IT LIES IN MY CHEST Every road that I take Leads me back to the wreck I keep chasing the dark Just to hide from the light But the farther I go The less I feel alive I can run I can break I can disappear But I’m miles from myself And I’m still stuck here I changed my face in the mirror Just to feel unknown Cut the weight from my shoulders But it followed me home I was praying for silence With my hands on the wheel But the ghosts in the static Started sounding real I can burn the map I can kill the lights But I still hear it In the dead of night I buried it deep But it learned my name Now every way out Feels the same I CAN’T OUTRUN THE HURT WHEN IT LIES IN MY CHEST Every road that I take Leads me back to the wreck I keep chasing the dark Just to hide from the light But the farther I go The less I feel alive I can run I can break I can disappear But I’m miles from myself And I’m still stuck here Maybe I’m not lost Maybe I’m afraid To turn around And face what I made I kept blaming the distance I kept blaming the dark But I carried the wreckage Like a ghost in my heart I can’t keep running From what I won’t heal I can’t keep hiding From what I still feel I can’t keep running From what I won’t heal I can’t keep hiding From what I still feel I CAN’T OUTRUN THE HURT WHEN IT LIES IN MY CHEST Every road that I take Leads me back to the wreck I keep chasing the dark Just to hide from the light But the farther I go The less I feel alive I can run I can break I can disappear But I’m miles from myself And I’m still stuck here I keep running But I’m still here Miles from myself And I’m still stuck here — Follow When We Break Spotify: https://bit.ly/49VO7Wy Apple Music: https://apple.co/49Xra5i Instagram:   / when.we.break   TikTok:   / whenwebreak
