Verse 1.
What am I doing here
I can't just hold back the tears
Because you make it clear
That you don't hold me dear
Why did I waste the year
Put up with everything
So I could have you near
So I could have you here
Pre-chorus 1.
Let go let it be
The only part of me
That you really own
Is my broken heart
Baby
Let go I'm on my own
And what is left of me
Now that I'm all alone
It's been torn apart
Chorus 1.
I can't wait to escape
In the night
Runaway
From mistakes
Getaway
From the break up
The break up
I can't wait to forget
All the lies
That you said
So much hate
We create
In the break up
Verse 2.
Why do I have the fear
Of leaving you it's so hard
The end of us is near
I'll go and disappear
And why do all the tears
Keep falling all the time
And why I didn't see
How we could never agree
Pre-chorus 2.
Let go let it be
The only part of me
That you really own
Is my broken heart
Baby
Let go I'm on my own
And what is left of me
Now that I'm all alone
It's been torn apart
Chorus 2.
I can't wait to escape
In the night
Runaway
From mistakes
Getaway
From the break up
The break up
I can't wait to forget
All the lies
That you said
So much hate
We create
In the break up
Bridge
Where to turn now
Gotta make it through somehow
But it's hard to get rid of the chains
Where to go now
Gotta find a way somehow
But it's hard to get rid of the pain
Try to figure out
What it is I'm all about
This world's so cold
Much doubt try to heal inside
Chorus 1.
I can't wait to escape
In the night
Runaway
From mistakes
Getaway
From the break up
The break up
I can't wait to forget
All the lies
That you said
So much hate
We create
In the break up
