I Couldn't Wait to Leave 6 Months Ago

From up here this town don’t look so bad

I’m looking down at this place I hate and at least for a second it seems okay

But I’m not getting over it

Getting used to it

It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit

And it’s not a case of being scared or undeserving

I’m just questioning the purpose of leaving what I thought was pulling me down

But I’ll bite my tongue and grit my teeth

I’ll leave my heart where I leave my home

I never thought that I’d be on my own

I never knew that I had this in me

I kinda think it came all too quickly

But I know that growing up’s a part of growing up

So I guess I’ll just face the facts and throw my bags up on this broken back

I’ll learn from my mistakes and find a place where I can breathe

Somewhere that I can breathe

I’ll miss the smell of the rain on my road

The dirty streets of the town I call home

My friends that kept me from feeling alone

And the broken promises you made that forced me to grow

And I’ll miss the paths I’ve walked a thousand times

The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned from the nights

That I spent with my friends in this town I resent

All ‘cause this is the last of time that I’ll spend around here
