Oh get me away
from here
I'm dying
Play me a song
to set me free
Nobody writes 'em
like they used to
so it may as well be me
Here on my own
now after hours
Here on my own
now on a bus
Think of it this way
you could either be
successful or be us
With our winning
smiles and us
with our catchy
tunes and words
Now we're photogenic
You know
we don't stand a chance
Oh I'll settle down
with some old story
about a boy
who's just like me
Thought there was love
in everything and everyone
You're so naïve
They always reach
a sorry ending
They always get it
in the end
Still it was worth it
as I turned the pages
solemnly and then
With a winning smile
the poor boy
with naïvety succeeds
At the final moment I cried
I always cry at endings
I always cry at endings
Oh that wasn't what
I meant to say at all
from where I'm sitting
Rain falling against
the lonely tenement
has set my
mind to wander
into the windows
of my lovers
They never know
unless I write
This is no declaration
I just thought
I'd let you know
Goodbye
said the hero in the story
It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
but I could only make you
cry with these words
Cry with these words
Cry with these words
Cry with these words
Oh get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Oh I'm dyin'
Oh I'm dyin' yeah
Oh I'm dyin' yeah
Oh get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Get me away I'm dyin'
Oh I'm dyin'
Oh I'm dyin'
