I sometimes feel it's my only option,
To take off in the middle of the night,
I don't know where I'd go,
But I just want to leave everything behind.
All the things I have ever loved have left me,

I might be called a coward but I don't want to face it all.
I have been through too much to care anymore,
Let me go, let me run, let me leave.

Nobody here to see me.
Or, to hear my screams.
The ground beneath me is slipping
