I think I'm breaking out
I'm gonna leave you now
There's nothing for me here it's all the same
And even though I know
That everything might go
Go downhill from here I'm not afraid

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe
Anything

You can't stop me now
You can't hold me down
You can't keep me here I'm on my way
I made it this far now
And I'm not burning out
No matter what you say I'm not afraid

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe
Anything

Letting out the noise inside of me
Every window pane is shattering
Cutting up my words before I speak
This is how it feels to not believe

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe
Anything
