Give him up, let him go
Won't follow, won't let him follow
Take a breath, steal away
Let him play these games, play these games
Can't cry, won't fight
Not tonight, not turning off these lights
Can't shout, can't scream
He'll think I'm mean, but I can let that be...
Holding on, letting go
Why do we do this? We don't know
Stepping out, standing up
Look below, I'm still hanging on though
Swept away, off my feet
Can't believe how I've been floating lately
Sense a new avenue
I know what to do, just gotta' let it take me...
On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done...
Ride a wave, the new rave
Let it loose and now it's losing me
Caught between, being me
Or a tragedy, tragedy
Riding high, cloud nine
Won't let me through their gates no more
Found a place to escape
I'm out the door, leaving another girl sore...
Won't be fine, about time
Need someone to hold back my hands
Let me loose let me fall
They'll understand, understand
Hurting once, maybe twice
They'll find you in a ditch somewhere
Spreading wings, little things are
Keeping you away from there...
On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done...
(Shutting you out, shutting you out...)
The damage is done... ha...
(Shutting you out, shutting you out...)
I'm shutting you out
I'm gonna' leave you behind
One step at a time
I'm gonna' do it 'cause I said it so
I'm gonna' make it 'cause I said so...
Shutting you out... yeah...
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm gonna' shut him...
On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go, you can't run
Leaving town, won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories, mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done...
The damage is done, yeah, yeah, yeah...
The damage is done, ha
The damage is done
The damage is done...
