i'm breaking out today
and i cannot wait to leave this place
where everyone is playing their own game
and everything stays the same
when i overheard you, babe
you kept saying things will never change
that you don't have the strength to get away
well, what an awful shame

sing, sing, sing it
like nobody's got the cure
like it's the end of the world
sing, sing, sing it
as long as your lungs can bare 
don't (ever) tell me that i can't (sing)

i mean what i say this time
i won't waste my breath to save this life
when all you know is built on lies
that's when dreams die
so i'm gonna burn it down
watch as the [bad word] through this town
and by the time you feel the pain 
i'll be miles away

sing it like you mean it
(nobody's got the cure)
hit me with your best shot
(as long as your lungs can bare)
as long as your lungs can bare

i know the streets like the back of my own hand
repeat the words that i wish i never said
i can't believe how i threw it all away for you
now you're lost and you're asking for my help
you got yourself to blame and no one else
i can't believe that i threw it all away for you
