anywhere but here Lyrics

I bought the ticket, got on the flight

I told my parents, they know I lied

Could cut the tension with a knife

I loved your family like they were mine

My heart was racing, I knew you lied

Your selfish ways had me hypnotized

And I wish I could go back in time

And tell myself I'd be alright after leaving

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

Rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

I always knew you'd never change

Wish knowing took my pain away

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

The hesitation, I sympathize

Cause now it's different

Look in my eyes

Three hundred chances, I'm cutting ties

Actions louder than words are strong

Left alone, yet strong along

Sometimes I'm thankful you're in the wrong

And I wish I could go back in time

And tell myself I'd be alright at the free fall

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

Rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

I always knew you'd never change

Wish knowing took my pain away

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but

Long time coming, they all stalled before my rose-colored glasses

They fell on the floor

I raced away, couldn't ignore

Comforting to have you around again

Could go back in time and say never cave in

But the monsters took over

And I lost it

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

Rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

I always knew you'd never change

Grow up say it to my face

I'd rather be, rather be, rather be anywhere but here

Anywhere but here
