Lin-Manuel Miranda - I'm Out lyrics

[Lincoln] Run away from home Ignore your mother's screams and leave today You should've done this years ago Why are you still at home? Shoving down all the things you need to say? Suffering for no reason A lonely son I've wasted my life Writing at night Driving by day But now it's clear Year after year Long as I'm here It's safe to say I'll never Be the son that you wanted Or even the son you accepted So that's gonna be how we left it? You screaming at me? And me walking out So I'm out Out of ways to make you happy I'm running out Yes I'm out I don't know it's time to go And I love you but you'll never see me The way I see myself when I'm alone With a notebook and a microphone When I write a song I am somewhere miles beyond this place Everything feels electric, connected When I write a song I imagine you nodding your head in time Listening the way you listen to your boleros I wanted to cry When you stood by me and you handed me Your keys Lincoln, take these I couldn't breathe I never cease to let you down I'll never live Up to your expectations So this is the situation You're getting upset And I'm getting out I am out Out of patience with this family I'm running out Yes I'm out And it's time, it's way past time After 24 years of only hearing you Shout It's crystal clear You don't know what I'm about So Mami, Nina Sorry, see ya Please, no crying allowed I'll be back When I've made you proud Peace and I'm out!
