I Need to Leave but I'll be Okay?

Sometimes do you ever want to leave?

without anyone noticing?

It's not like they would care

they may ask why your not there

 

Did you really think i'd want to stay here

And everyone leave me there

I'd rather leave you first

because thats better then the worse

 

The same routen every day--wake up

go to school, make good grades

go to track and then

sleep it off till the next day

 

When i'm gone will i check my phone

check the media

see if anyone has called out to me

someone wishing for me to come home

 

No, because all of those i care about

don't need to know i'm okay

I rather them just sit there

and remember all that I had to say

 

It was nothing...

--It was nothing that i had to say

and it was I that sat there every day in the same old way 

i'm tired and i want to leave and i can't stay

 

I want to go explore 

but i don't want to go alone

but you won't be there with me

cause your on another shore

 

Yes, I'm leaving but you'll hear again from me one day

but i can't stay

cause i need to go out in the world

i'll be okay
