lyrics

When I’m alone it feels alright, can’t look back home, can’t lose the fight
When I’m alone, wonder how until I fall

I’ll be the one holding you back, under attack from harsh reality
“I’m sick of this town” and “I wanna get out” heard daily like a broken record on repeat
I’ve heard the truths, I’ve heard the lies, the heart is somewhere you’ve grown to despise
So take the proverbial walk off into the sunset, it’s more a beginning than an end

Time have changed since we were younger, our opened minds, the days were longer
I never thought I’d ever wanna leave this town

When I’m alone it feels alright, can’t look back home, can’t lose the fight
When I’m alone, wonder how until I fall

It’s up in the air, in hushed tones it’s said, we’re unsure of what will happen next
Though our freedom is great no matter how hard we try, our fear is something that’s too hard to hide
So put down your drink, take time to think, are you ready to leave it all behind?
Deep down we wanna expose awful truth of our lies,
through shitty song lyrics and alibis

Sobering nights of drunk confessions, half my friends grew up with depression
I guess they never thought we ever could get out (ooooooooo)

When I’m alone it feels alright, can’t look back home, can’t lose the fight
When I’m alone, wonder how until I fall
