Give him up, let him go
Won't follow, won't let him follow
Take a breath, steal away
Let him play these games, play these game

Gaining ground, won't fight
Not tonight, not turning off these lights
Can't shout, can't scream, think of me
But I can't let that be

Holding on, letting go
Why do we do this?
We don't know
Stepping out, standing up
Look below, I'm still hanging under
Slipped away off my feet
Can't believe how I've been totaled lately
Since the new avenue, know what to do
Just gotta let it take me

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

Ride a wave, the new rave
Better loosen now, it's losing me
Caught between being me or tragedy, tragedy
Riding high, cloud nine
Won't let me through them gates no more
Found a place to escape, another door
Leaving another girl's soul
My hope is fine, about time
Need someone to hold back my hands
Let me loose, let me fall
They'll understand, understand

Hurt him once, maybe twice
They'll find you in a ditch somewhere
Spreading wings, little things
I'm keeping you away from me

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

Shutting you out
Shutting you out
The damage is done

Shutting you out
Shutting you out
I'm shutting you out

I'm gonna leave you behind
One step at a time
I'm gonna do it cause I said so
I'm gonna make it cause I said so

Shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm gonna shut him

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

The damage is done
The damage is done
The damage is done

The damage is done
(On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago, any place I go, you can't run)

The damage is done
(Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow, telling stories,
mine has just begun)

The damage is done
(Taking over, leaving no traces, only smiling faces in the sun)

Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more (start over now)
Walking out the door (start over now)

I don't wanna wait (start over now)
I don't wanna be waiting no more (start over now)

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more
Walking out the door

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more
Walking out the door

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more
Walking out the door

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna be waiting no more
I don't wanna wait no more
