Far Away


 

I wanna move away from this place

Move to a place far away

Far away to a place where it can’t hurt me

The pain is where it all ends for me

And I can’t take this anymore

I wanna let it go

But letting it go won’t make me who I am

I like being who I am

I am me. I am she. I am her. I am who I am. 

But we want it to go away 

Go away and stay there

And if it stays there, we will never be whole again

It will drive us deeper into the ground

We want it to all go away, but we’re already gone
