Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying

Get me away from here, I'm dying Play me a song to set me free Nobody writes them like they used to So it may as well be me Here on my own now after hours Here on my own now on a bus Think of it this way You could either be successful or be us With our winning smiles and us With our catchy tunes and words Now we're photogenic You know, we don't stand a chance Oh, I'll settle down with some old story About a boy who's just like me Thought there was love in everything and everyone You're so naive They always reach a sorry ending They always get it in the end Still, it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly and then With a winning smile, the boy Naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings I always cry at endings That wasn't what I meant to say at all From where I'm sitting, rain Falling against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander Into the windows of my lovers They never know unless I write "This is no declaration" "I just thought I'd let you know, goodbye" Said the hero in the story It is mightier than words I could kill you, sure But I could only make you cry with these words Cry with these words Cry with these words Cry with these words Get me away, I'm dying Oh, get me away, I'm dying Oh, get me away, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying Oh, I'm dying (oh, I'm dying)
