miles from here

I'm miles away

I've been changing the hard way

What I'm looking for are the answers today

To why these questions that never go away

Questions of how

How many years can I pretend?

So many years not knowing how to defend

No more holding it in

Feeling as though I had no choice

Feeling as though I had no voice

I’m not coming back to that town.

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now

I’ve been thinking

That feeling of sinking

Ive been letting go

Letting go of all that I know

No more sitting in this place

No more staying in this lonely space

I’ve been giving up.

I’ve been stuck

I’m now far away

Far from the games that were played

Far from where I used to be

Far from those who thought, they had me

Far from what once was

So glad I’m gone because

Now the road is paved

I know I've been saved

With sun shining on my pain

Showing my flaws, scars and shame

Watch me wave

Waving goodbye

Goodbye to yesterday

Nothing left in my way

Never wanting to look back

I have to know that I am on the right track

Feels so good to say

I'm so far away

I open my eyes and my heart

My arms part

I open to the wonder

I surrender
