. . . ....... ..... . .
Ive shed these tears a hundred times. The bottles are broken my wells run dry.
And all these painful words make this much harder.
You have no place here. Ive left and so should you, should you.
Take these chains that bound me from this place. Tonight is the last night youll see my face.
Left alone Ive wandered in this place all night.
This has got to be the only way to make this right.
Surely if I fell from these.
Ive held these tears back a hundred times the bottles are full and its my time to shine.
Would you believe me if I told you...
It was my time to die. Ive wished for this all night. So show yourself I will fight. I will fight.
Come at me with everything youre made of come at me with everything youve got.
All my life Ive waited for the day when I could just drive and get away from this place. I need to get away from this place.
I know that I am better than this.
