Give him up

Let him go

Won't follow, won't let him follow

Take a breath

Steal away

Let him play these games, play these games

Can't cry

Won't fight

Not tonight, not turning off these lights

Can't shout

Can't scream

He'll think I'm mean (But, I can let that be)

Holding on

Letting go

Why do we do this? We don't know

Stepping out

Standing up

Look below - I'm still hanging on though

Swept away

Off my feet

Can't believe how I've been floating lately

Sense a new avenue

I know what to do (Just gotta let it take me)

On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can't run

Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done

Ride a wave

The new rave

Let it loose and now it's losing me

Caught between

Being me or a tragedy

Riding high

Cloud nine won't let me through their gates no more

Found a place to escape

I'm out the door (Leaving another girl sore)

Won't be fine

About time

Need someone to hold back my hands

Let me loose let me fall

They'll understand, understand

Hurting once

Maybe twice

They'll find you in a ditch somewhere

Spreading wings

Little things are (keeping you away from there)

Chorus

Shutting you out

Shutting you out

I'm shutting you out

I'm gonna leave you behind

One step at a time

I'm gonna do it cause I said so

I'm gonna make it cause I said so

I'm shutting you out

Chorus
