Give me a second just to get my thoughts together You've been talking forever and I'm running out of time You need to realize I'm going to lose my mind I never meant to make you question all the reasons that you had Consider this a lesson learned because you haven't earned the chance to make amends But now the seasons are changing I'm getting tired of the time that we're wasting I can't afford to just sit back you can do what you want and I'll see you when I get back So don't hold your breath or wait around 'cause by the time that you hear this I'll be on the other side of town Consider this a lesson learned because you haven't earned the chance to make amends We'll never be best friends again and on that note… I'm gonna tell the world how you fucked up everything and ran away 'Cause you were too scared to face the truth and look me in the eyes just one more time So goodbye it was nice to know you I hope you make it out alive

I've waited all my life so I can stand here and tell you I've wasted all my life trying to get here and tell you About all the times we got drunk on the weekends and how to avoid making costly decisions But I'm already out of air hoping that my lungs hold up until it's time to get out of here Believe me when I tell you you have to look at the past through the rear view because it's only getting harder as we go So stand up and make a name for yourself and the things you believe in Ignore all the hate and the change in the seasons So when they call your name you better be prepared because this chance is only once in a lifetime Looking back on it all I've seen myself give up when the sky starts to fall But I'm still standing tall After all the things I've been through you'd thought that I've seen it all But we're still getting older and the world's not moving any slower So by the time that you figure it out It'll all be over

So lets drive just to getaway Cause I'm tired of searching for reasons that I should stay while you try to get your story straight and put together the pieces to help you re-create the memory of losing control and how you lost your mind for the first time The consequences of living the fast life You're losing all your second chances So maybe one day I'll see you again and I hope you turn out alright But I have to go I have to get on with my own life We can try to pretend but I think we both know that this is the end of the road But I have to go I have to get on with my own life It's funny how these things work out You try to runaway just to figure things out but all you figure out is that you're running away and that's no way to figure things out You know I wanted this to work out You know I wanted this to work out You know I wanted this to work out but maybe I was wrong

Memory 03:15
This is where I draw the line You're never gonna change and I need to go and get away from all of your mistakes You're not bringing me down today And as I walk out the door don't even try and stop me All you can do is just stare and watch me Walk right out of the picture This is one you won't want to forget 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane don't know if I'll be back again But if you really care then I'll call you when I get there It's the same old story over and over and over again While you're running out of lies to cover up it's pretty obvious that this is the end And it's the first time I'll ever write your name But not the last time Scratch it out and start it over I bet you're known for all the things I said about you 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane don't know if I'll be back again But if you really care then I'll call you when I get there 'Cause I'm leaving and I'm never looking back I'm tired of the past and keeping track of all the memories I think it's safe to say you're history
5.
And for the past few nights I've been thinking of running away Not sure where I'm going but hoping you'll say "Good luck on your new road call me when you get there Don't forget about the memories we made over the years" And it's about time I set the record straight I'm leaving so I don't have to see you again I'm sorry but this is the end of everything And sometimes it's just good to get away But where do you go when you don't have a place to stay I never thought that I'd be gone forever Now I'm out here on my own never thought that I'd be ever coming home Allow me to reintroduce myself and come clean, I've been living like someone else But I never thought that things would ever change So now I find myself looking for a getaway I'll be running for the rest of my life because I'm running from the rest of my life There's not a thing you can say that would make me wanna stay I'm moving on from my old life and I suggest you do the same
