Away
Echoes of Regret: Escape the Stake's Emotional Journey in 'Away'
Lyrics
I don't know how you're doing
I am uncertain about your well-being
I don't think that I want to
I don't desire to know
So tell me why I can't stop thinking about you
I wonder why thoughts of you persist
You carved pieces out of me
You took parts of me
And you hung them on your wall
You displayed them as trophies
And you left me standing there with nobody to call
You abandoned me without support
And my old friend are still your friends
Your friends remain mine
And I have to hear about you from all of them
I hear about you through them
I got too fucked up at that party
I became heavily intoxicated at an event
Tried to walk myself home in the wind
Attempted to walk home in a vulnerable state
I just can't say goodbye to your beauty
I can't let go of your beauty
And the way that you shot words right through me
Your words deeply affected me
Why did I have to comfort you then, when you knew what had just happened to me?
Why did I comfort you when I needed comfort?
I'm far away from you now
I am now distant from you
I'll never go back to that town
I refuse to return to that place
I'll never go back to that town
I vow never to return
I tried to write it all down
I tried to document my feelings
'Cause I know that ghosts stick around
Ghosts of the past linger
I'll never go back to that town
I won't go back to that place
I'll never go back to that town
I won't revisit that town
The tattoo that I gave you
The tattoo I gave you
I hope you don't get rid of it
I hope it remains with you
And I hope you spend a million nights remembering what you did
May you reflect on your actions for countless nights
I think I'm worse off having known you
I am worse off because of knowing you
And I'll keep writing stupid songs
I express my feelings through songs
'Cause I just don't know what else to do
Writing songs is my coping mechanism
I don't talk shit about you
I don't speak negatively about you
You're just mad that I tell the truth
I convey the truth, which upsets you
And you've got everyone around you fooled
Others are deceived by your facade
They really think they know you
They believe they understand you
I knew you once
We had a connection in the past
I was scared to call it love
I hesitated to label it as love
But if you called right now I'd answer so I think that's what it was
If you called now, I might answer, suggesting it was love
I'm far away from you now
I am distanced from you
I'll never go back to that town
I won't return to that town
I'll never go back to that town
I'll never revisit that place
I tried to write it all down
I attempted to express my emotions
'Cause I know that ghosts stick around
Haunted memories persist
I'll never go back to that town
I won't go back to that town
I'll never go back to that town
I won't revisit that place
I'll never go back to that town
I won't go back to that town
Go back to that town
I won't return to that place
Go back back back to that town
I won't go back to that town
