[Verse 1]

It's hard to breathe waiting for you to speak 'cause

I know what you wanna say

You seem so calm, you speak to me so softly

Asking if I'm okay

Something has changed you look at me so strangely now

With sadness in your eyes

I start to pray the next word that you say

Won't be your last goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm standing in a daze

Wishing I was somewhere far away

[Chorus]

Anywhere but here

'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes

Anywhere but now

'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye

So take me anywhere but here

[Verse 2]

You hold my hand and hope I'll understand why

We're better off this way

It's almost sweet with the tears upon your cheek and

Mascara running down your face

It's breaking your heart to watch me come apart

So you beg me to just let go

You say, "I'll be okay, and I'll find love again,"

And you smile to soften up the blow

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm falling far from grace

Wishing I was running from this place

[Chorus]

Anywhere but here

'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes

Anywhere but now

'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye

Anywhere but here

'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes

Anywhere but now

'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye

So take me anywhere but here

[Bridge]

Don't kiss me now cause it's more than I can bear

Oh, if you take me now, you can take me anywhere

[Chorus]

Anywhere but here

'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes

Anywhere but now

'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye

So take me anywhere but here
