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)
