The time is ripe, I'll travel light
So nobody gets hurt
I can't stay now, the road has called
One last time, goodbye.
I'm gone, don't write to me,
I can't write back, it only hurts
Smash all my possessions that nobody will take
They'll be no use to you
I know that you're mad, but I don't know who at
This is the third girl I've been this year
I lie to myself as much as I lie to you
This is my chance to set the record straight
Wave goodbye to this circle town again
You knew that I would,
This time I swear it's for good again
The town that made me is the same one that erased me
But I won't shed a tear this time
This is my escape scene
We're all liars.
And I'll treat you just the same
You can't fool me with your plastic smile
Because we play the same games, you see
We sell our integrity
Because something's gotta pay the bills
We get so bored being each other's whores
So we fill ourselves with poison to feel
Play the game to buy back my name again
You knew that I would,
This time I swear it's for good again
The town that made me is the same one that replaced me
But I won't shed a tear this time
This is my escape scene
What have I become?
What happens if I don't run?
Will you right behind me?
And love me enough to tell me not to leave?
I'm sick of running
I'm sick of lying
I'm coming home
Because that circle town
Is the only truth
That I've ever known,
So I'm coming home.
