Getting Away

Could I just get a word?
In this onslaught of accusations.
I'm oh so new to these uncomfortable sensations.
Friends quickly turned to worthy adversaries.
Wrong move here.
Checkmate and let's bring on the hate.
The fountain of youth ran dry.
And I'm being told not to cry.
Be strong even though the shadows get bigger.
I see you walking away in the afternoon sun.
So if you see me around town just know i'm on the run.

Yeah, i'm on the run.
And my pace is nothing like I've felt before.
The right words never coming to me.
I'm getting away.
I'm getting away.
Mama i'm sorry I haven't been in touch I've just been getting away.

Early morning waiting for sun to rise.
I'm so fucking tired of throwing on this disguise.
Like everythings ok.
Yeah right.
I'm up at all hours, bloodshot eyes follow me in the night,

I don't want to look in the drawer.
With the note I wrote.
With blood sweat and tears I got over you.
And now I don't want to look back.
I just keep remembering the bad times.
They weigh heavy on my back.

Maybe if you spent the time to let me know why you left.
Maybe if you spent a small second just to put your arms around me.
And tell me everything will be ok.
I know you were scared.
But I was scarred.
Too much time spend lingering by the window.
Staring into nothing.
Wondering why I didn't make the cut.

Should've spoke up.
Should've opened up.
Things didn't have to be this way.
I'm packing my bags.
Catching a greyhound cross country and getting away.


Mama i'm sorry I haven't written.
Friends..i'm sorry I've been so cold.
It's just this give and take with the world is getting old.
It's a little one sided.
I keep telling myself it'll all work out in the end.
That this heartbreak will make me stronger.

Long journey, your eyes can be my lights.
Your body, my warmth.
Your laugh, my safety.
Your kiss, my breath.

Is everything going to be ok?
Is it?
I'm asking you girl is everything going to be ok?
I don't want to be alone no more please don't go away.
But if you do.
Just a little heads up if you're getting away.
