Leaving – Grayscale

I know you don’t do well when I’m leaving
But I just can’t fit in with this place
Anymore, it’s just not where I’m meant to be
Constantly without my footing
And a weight on my friends so I’ll be happy
I don’t do well on my own
Sometimes I think only Nick knows
That I’ll always be lame inside from the friends that I let go
I know it’s hard for you to take
But I’m ready to start a new life
Away from my mistakes

I’m leaving
California bound and I’m not coming home for anything
Until I find some better footing
I’m so fed up right now
But I’ll be done with the things that pulled me down before
Like high school, and the kids who think their stories of driving home drunk are cool

But all that’s behind me
I found my release and packed my things
So I’ll be out the door
Without feeling any kind of remorse for this
Just try and be an optimist
Or at least that’s what Ari says
Just try to keep your head up
Or you’ll pull yourself to pieces (pull yourself to pieces)
Just try to keep your head up
Or you’ll pull yourself to pieces
You let your family go, you’ve given up

I’m leaving
California bound and I’m not coming home for anything
Until I find some better footing
I’m so fed up right now
But I’ll be done with the things that pulled me down before
Like high school, and the kids who think their stories of driving home drunk are cool

I’m leaving
