Anywhere but here Do you wish to be alone? With stars as mere companions Silent critics to your songs Anyone but me With whom do you wish to speak? Ready are a thousand ears But you recognize none except your fears You had to be wrong to learn Why did you have to prove you could fight the world? You had to break and fall before You could understand how this mercy works You had to march through fire to shine You had to lose your voice so you could speak your mind I don't understand, why you had to leave Anytime but now Would you like to change your vows? What was love before the pain? Was it something said in vain? You had to run away to feel The only time you felt at home was real You had to miss someone before You regretted your wrong for shutting the door You had to force yourself to think Loneliness in time will lose its sting I don't understand, why you had to leave The remedy lies now in your hands Know tomorrow comes whether you're glad or sad Still the sun will rise regardless of The nights, you blame, that haunt your past You had to run away to feel The only time you felt at home was real You had to miss someone before You regretted your wrong for shutting the door You had to force yourself to think Loneliness in time will lose its sting I don't understand, why you had to leave Run away to feel The only time you felt at home was real You had to miss someone before You regretted your wrong for shutting the door You had to force yourself to think Loneliness in time will lose its sting I don't understand, why you had to leave
