On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall
We count the days scratching lines on a wall
Wait in the wings at someone's beck and call
No longer recognize the place that I call home
No longer recognize this face as my own
Somewhere, this fate, I lost control

We backed down
We took "no" for answers far too long
We felt those walls close around
I don't wanna be here anymore
I don't wanna be here anymore

I don't wanna be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured (oh-ah-oh, oh-ah-oh)
See, I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I'm listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn
And I don't wanna be here (be here) anymore

On hand and foot we answered every single call
And weathered every day like passing storms
But when they break we will all be gone

Won't back down
Won't take "no" for answers anymore
These walls close
We pace back and forth

I don't wanna be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured (oh-ah-oh, oh-ah-oh)
See, I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I'm listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn
And I don't wanna be here (be here) anymore

The point where we break
Gets closer everyday
But where do we go?
But where do we go?

I don't wanna be here anymore
I don't wanna be here anymore

I don't wanna be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured (oh-ah-oh, oh-ah-oh)
See, I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I'm listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn
And I don't wanna be here (be here) anymore

(We need a better way, we need to let go)
(We need a better way, we need to let go) anymore
(We need a better way, we need to let go)
(We need a better way)
