Get away.
Go to your safe haven.
Keep yourself protected.
Don't let the place cave in.

Run away.
Not too fast, though.
They won't try to catch you.
They won't even know.

Stay away.
It's not worth it there.
Don't you turn around.
Don't you even care.

I was going through a weird time. I really just wanted to get out of my town. I wanted to meet better people.
