Verse: 1
Gm F
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
Gm F
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
Gm F
Made it out of the fire, ran away just in time
(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)
Gm F
Tried to kill my desire, tried to hold me here all of my life
(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)
Gm F
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here
Eb Gm
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
F
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
Eb Gm F
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Cm
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me

No time to give in this one life we live
