Getting Out

Goodbye, I’m goin out the door,

Won’t be around to bother you anymore,

Got a lot of life yet to live,

Got a lot of love left to give,

Not expecting you to understand or try,

You never did before, so why this time?

Just keep your mouth closed,

The way you did each time before.

Cuz I don’t want to hear you anymore.

I’m getting out of this place….

Don’t know where I’m headed,

Somewhere better that’s all I know,

Don’t know when I’ll get there,

Hope it’s not too far to go,

Don’t know if I’m going to forget you,

Probably won’t, but I’ll try,

Just the way I know you will,

The moment I crest that hill.

There’s a guy I know whose got it great,

Has a girl who loves him all the way,

She fucked up once and kissed another guy,

Broke down about it and began to cry,

Begged him not to turn his back,

Never had a love like that,

So what’s he do, he milks it for its worth,

And this is the guy who gets the girl,

This is the way it is all across the world.

It’s shit like that that breaks me down,

There’s no trust left to be found

Anywhere in any love but mine,

And that’s why others have love all the time,

They beat and batter, tease, abuse,

And it’s guys like me that always lose.

Well, it’s the girl’s fault, I say,

They don’t have to sit and stay,

They choose who to love anyway.

I’m getting out of this place……

Don’t know where I’m headed,

Somewhere better that’s all I know,

Don’t know when I’ll get there,

Hope it’s not too far to go,

Don’t know if I’m going to forget you,

Probably won’t, but I’ll try,

Just the way I know you will,

The moment I crest that hill.

Know a girl who says she wants to be

With a sweet guy, someone just like me,

Hints and flirts and holds out her hand,

Makes me want to be her man,

I won’t ever ask, can’t believe

Been broken too often by the same deeds,

And I used to be the one whose song

Was trust in each love that comes along,

But they’re all the same, I was wrong.

Life is worthless from the start

If you can’t trust your own heart,

When you can’t believe what people say

They only care about themselves, anyway,

So every single hand held out,

Is only there to slap you about,

And I see a girl pass me by,

Whose got it all and I break down and cry,

Knowing I can’t erase all the lies….

I’ve been broken by people,

Took my faith and broke the steeple

With their tongue and voice,

They sat and made the choice,

To twist me and wring me out

Left me with nothing left but doubt

And I see the road I travel,

I hope it leads to heaven, I’m guessing hell,

That’s the way it always is, we can never tell…

I’m getting out of this place……

Don’t know where I’m headed,

Somewhere better that’s all I know,

Don’t know when I’ll get there,

Hope it’s not too far to go,

Don’t know if I’m going to forget you,

Probably won’t, but I’ll try,

Just the way I know you will,

The moment I crest that hill.

I’m getting out of this place…..

Don’t know where I’m headed,

Hope it’s better, that’s all I know…

Don’t know when I’ll ge there…

Don’t care how far it is to go,

Just want to get away from here,

Away from you, away from fear,

Give up on me, I know you will,

The moment I crest that hill…….

I’m getting out of this place……

I’m getting out of this place…….
