From up here this town don’t look so bad, I’m looking down at this place I hate and at least for a second it seems ok, But I’m not getting over it, Getting used to it, It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit , And it’s not a case of being scared or undeserving, I’m just questioning the purpose of leaving what I thought was pulling me down.
But I’ll bite my tongue and grit my teeth.
I’ll leave my heart where I leave my home, I never thought that I’d be on my own, I never knew that I had this in me, I kinda think it came all too quickly.
But I know that growing up’s a part of growing up, So I guess I’ll just face the facts and throw my bags up on this broken back. I’ll learn from my mistakes and find a place where I can breath. Somewhere that I can breath.
I’ll miss the smell of the rain on my road, The dirty streets of the town I call home, My friends that kept me from feeling alone, And the broken promises you made that forced me to grow. And I’ll miss the paths I’ve walked a thousand times, The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned from the nights that I spent with my friends in this town I resent, All ‘cuz this is the last of time that I’ll spend around here.
