Outta this Town


I don’t know what to say, but I sure know what to do.

I’m packing my things and I’m leaving, yes sir, I’m leaving you.

You’re crazy, you’re insane !

I could never wrap my finger around your brain.

You say you love me and I know you do.

I must confess, I never loved you.

It was fun while it lasted.

Sorry I left you flabbergasted.

I gotta go !

I gotta blast outta this town.

I’m runnin’, I’m hidin’, I don’t wanna be found.

Don’t try to find me, I don’t wanna be bound.

I’m jettin’ my way outta this town.

You say you want me and need me, but I don’t want or need you.

Baby, just go your separate way.

Nothin’ you say can make me stay.

I’m skippin’ my way outta this town.

I don’t want to hurt you, but I’m about to desert you.

Please !

Just go and find someone else.

Someone who loves you and loves herself.

You were never crazy or insane, It was me all along.

I’ve always loved you tenfold strong.

I had to run, to keep you safe and sound.

That’s why I ran outta this town.

Never will I find someone like you, maybe the day when clouds turn black and the skies cease to be blue.

I will always miss you, whenever you're not around.

but thankfully, I’m finally outta this town.
