I need to get far away from your eyes.
You need me to be yours, forever young.
I cannot live if we live in your lies.

I want my life to be without disguise,
you’d rather I stay a song unsung.
I need to get far away from your eyes.

You think my only dream unwise?
I think my heart is finally strung.
I cannot live if we live within your lies.

Behind my mirth you cannot surmise
the bells of war that at last are rung.
I need to get far away from your eyes.

Now comes the time to sever ties
to one who plays at acid tongue.
I cannot live if we live within your lies.

I’m more than just your pretty prize
and these words are my weapons slung:
I am going far away from your eyes.
I will not live as I lived within your lies.
