[Intro]

Miserable fool, running on fumes

Offer you love but you're taking abuse

This ain't a game, stay where it's safe

You'll be okay

Oh what a shame, it's all in vain

That's a good mind that you're throwing away

You used to think

Now you just dream

How could you fall for

This?

[Verse 1]

Away, away

I'm getting out of here

I'll climb these walls of overcautious fear

It's all the same

I've heard enough from you

And I'm burning down the hell you put me through

So go ahead and tell my story

It's better to be sad than boring

I guess I kinda like a tragedy

'Cause I didn't listen

And all this time you tried to warn me

Oh if you could, you'd live it for me

A shame you can't, 'cause I'll throw away my life

'Cause I didn't listen, no

[Verse 2]

Away away

I'm taking back my youth

Yeah I'll put all this naivety to use

Today's the day I'm running away

I got my whole life savings in a heavy suitcase

If I end up as a cubicle slave

Then I'm ending this game with a hole in my brain

So

[Chorus]

Go ahead and tell my story

It's better to be sad than boring

I guess I kinda like a tragedy

'Cause I didn't listen

And all this time you tried to warn me

Oh if you could, you'd live it for me

A shame you can't, 'cause I'll throw away my life

'Cause I didn't listen no

[Post Chorus]

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen

[Bridge]

Well my glass is empty

And the room is spinning

And my hair is thinning

And my vision is dimming

Another year just went missing

And the panic is hitting

None of these people are with me

I don't belong in this city

I'm not a hopeless romantic

I dream in high definition

I'm making friends with the manic

Side of my mental condition

I'll double down in delusion

I'll be drunk on ambition

I'll run for the hills

And chase the thrills

And if they kill they only take the pain away

Away

I'm going all in now

And I won't sign your compromise

Your tired lies

[Chorus]

Go ahead and tell my story

It's better to be sad than boring

I guess I kinda like a tragedy

'Cause I didn't listen

And all this time you tried to warn me

Oh if you could, you'd live it for me

A shame you can't, 'cause I'll throw away my life

[Outro]

'Cause I didn't listen, no

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen no

I didn't listen no
