Want to be protected

Look forward to a future

I take off the ring and run

Wanting to be held not crushed

Wake up and it's quiet

She only hears herself breathe

Thinking of herself for once

In somebody else's dreams

Make excuses for the bruises

Take away the noise

Chorus

Don't hear the voice

Freedom of choice

A new city

New life for me

(excuse, bruises)

Those tears will turn to anger

The tension will be running high

Time to escape the world

Of wasted years and a fake smile

Hide away from the world

The tales of a scared girl

She won't live here anymore

(excuses and bruises)
