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

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

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
