lyrics

I just wanted to say I'm sorry, but I need to go away
The night is closing in upon the bright day
And I'm getting tired of standing up
And I'm getting tired of lying down

I'm afraid what I am about to do must be done
And I'm sorry if you just can't understand why I can't see the sun as it is to you

So stop holding on (don't let me go)
For tomorrow I will be gone (I don't want to leave)
Stop showing me your love (I need to be loved)
I have had enough

So jump,
Pull the trigger,
Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for?
Take the whole bottle
Then a couple more
Just think of the joy you will feel when you hit the floor

But no,
Something doesn’t feel right,
It’s almost as if you still don’t want to give up this fight
You say don’t be a quitter,
But it works in both ways,
And your friends say they love you, but a red X is on every display

I need to go away (I need to stay here)
Away (I need to stay here)
Away (I need to stay here)
Away (I need to stay here)

Stop holding on,
The love is gone,
All now is pain,
Nothing left to gain

I’ve fallen down six-thousand times, but this time there I’ll stay,
I’m sorry that I’ve said I’m fine when I’ve been far from okay,

I have been falling apart for so long,
I’m tired of being strong

Maybe I’ll wait just one more day,
Tomorrow (tomorrow might be better), I’ll go away.
