Anywhere but here

[Verse 1] Every room feels like it knows Every mirror shows what I won’t expose Smiles I fake, words I rehearse But everything I touch still hurts I move through crowds like I don’t exist Breathing in pain I never resist I’ve mastered the art of “I’m fine” But I’m drowning slow in my own mind [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t askin’ for forever Just a place without the weight Where the past can’t find me And the silence don’t ache [Chorus] Take me anywhere but here Somewhere the air feels clear Where I don’t carry these names Where I ain’t playin’ this game Where I can just breathe, just be Without the echo haunting me Don’t need a map, don’t need a plan Just anywhere but here again [Verse 2] I keep runnin' but I’m stuck inside Like a ghost I never said goodbye The walls remember, the streets still sting And I’m tired of the songs this silence sings I’m not lookin’ for someone to save Just a space I ain’t afraid to break Where I can cry and not explain Where I’m not dressed up in shame [Pre-Chorus] It ain’t about distance, it’s peace Just somewhere my mind gets released A place where I’m not pretending Where the hurt feels like it’s ending [Chorus] Take me anywhere but here Somewhere the sky looks near Where no one knows my past And every second don’t feel like glass Where I can just breathe, just be Without these ghosts inside of me Don’t need forever, don’t need a friend Just anywhere but here again [Outro - Bare, fading out] Anywhere quiet Anywhere new Anywhere I can feel Like I made it through Anywhere but here… Will do
