This is goodBmbye
After Cmonths of situating
I can fAminally leave this Csorry town behinGd
And I'm alBmright
When they Cask for me
My friends can smile and tAmell the world
That CI surviveGd
As I'm about to Bmleave
I fill a Cmillion empty pages
Pass my Amword and do my Cbest to sinGg
So what do BmI need

Who tAmhink and talk and Clive like meG

After months of careful planning
I can finally leave this dried up town behind
And I'm alright
Yeah, this used to be our city
This used to be our only light
Chorus:
I just want to walk away
I want to write but there's a consequence
That all my friends read everything I do and I say
I don't need to reign supreme
All I need are sounds of ecstasy
And I won't die today
Yeah, I'll be living, loving, writing down
And I'll live a life of dreams
And be grateful I'm around
