Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On pins and needles, we are waiting for the fall

We count the days, scratching lines on the 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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 anymore (Be here)

[Verse 2]

On hand and foot, we answered every single call

And weathered every day like passing storms

But when we break, we will all be gone (We will all be gone)

Won't back down, won't take no for answers anymore (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

These walls close, we pace back and forth

[Chorus]

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

I don't wanna be here anymore (Be here)

[Bridge]

The point where we break gets closer everyday

But where do we go? But where do we go?

[PreChorus]

I don't wanna be here anymore

I don't wanna be here anymore

[Chorus]

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 anymore (Be here)

[Outro]

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
