Anywhere But Here Lyrics

I wish I knew better

Than to waste my own time

There's no use in trying

Can't iron out these worry lines

I wish I knew better

Than to doubt what is mine

And carry on like I'm fine

Without a weight on my mind

So can we go

Be anywhere but here

The world is on fire

And I'm giving into the fear

Will you kill me first

And leave me there to die

Or can I coax you away

With medicine for the mind

Just take me anywhere

Anywhere but here

Just take me anywhere

Anywhere but here

You take all the air from my lungs

Like it's a fee for a prize

Swallow all the joy

Dim out the light from my life

Stab me in the back

Like it's a pleasant surprise

That something I loved before

Took the sight from my eyes

So can we go

Be anywhere but here

The world is on fire

And I'm giving into the fear

Will you kill me first

And leave me there to die

Or can I coax you away

With medicine for the mind

Just take me anywhere

Anywhere but here

Just take me anywhere

Anywhere but here

Won't you tell me something now

Make me forget about the way you make me feel

Sweep you under the rug

Like the pain you cause

Is some signed deal

When the damage is done

And there's no one left to help me heal

I hope you get what you deserve

And the end that you face is for real

So can we go

Be anywhere but here

The world is on fire

And I gave into the fear

So you killed me first

And left me there to die

Couldn't coax you away

With medicine for the mind

Just take me anywhere

Just take me anywhere

Just take me anywhere

Anywhere but here
