Leave
I want to leave,
Pack my bags and leave.
I don’t belong in this town.
I belong in the wild, big world.
I feel trapped,
In this town that I’ve grown up in.
I feel suffocated,
The same people around me.
It gets boring,
Lonely even.
I want to leave,
Pack my bags and leave.
For a place far away.
Where my soul will finally be at peace.
I feel like a burden,
On the people around me.
Who can I turn to,
In my times of need.
Where can I go when I feel like my world is falling apart?
I want to leave,
Pack my bags and leave.
For my soul does’t belong in this place
Where I currently reside.
I want to leave,
For a place far away.
To be free.
To fill my lungs with fresh air.
To be free.
To finally belong.
I want to leave,
For my soul is displeased.
I want to leave,
For my soul is in agony.
I want to leave,
For my soul is tearing apart.
I want to leave,
Pack my bags and leave.
For my soul doesn’t belong here.
