lyrics

I’m leaving here today. I trust that you won’t stand in my way
There’s nothing for me here, and that you know
I gave this world a whirl. I tried to be your fine and fancy girl
But this life is not for me and I must go

I won’t turn around
I’m headed far away from this wicked little town

There’s nothing you can do. See you and me are really through
My life was built on lies made up by you
Look what I’ve become. The girl in me is all but gone
I’m the man I was meant to be and to my own self I’ll be true

I won’t turn around
And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground
Because I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way
I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back to this place that you call home

You know that I can’t stay. The truth is I would just get in your way
Release me now and your secrets stay with me
The blue is calling me. The wind is rising up to carry me
on the open sea and to my destiny

I won’t turn around
And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground
Because I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way
I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back to this place that you call home

They say home is where the heart is, and mine is far from here
I’m letting go of everything I once held so dear

Let’s leave it at goodbye. No crocodile tears in your eye
You chose your life and now I’m choosing mine
There’s danger in this world, but we know I am more than just a girl
And tonight’s red sky tells me I’ll be just fine

I won’t turn around
And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground
well I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way
I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back, I’m never coming back,
I’m never coming back to this place that you call home
