Safety isn't getting us safely anywhere But I'm holding onto your scars as they disappear Bite the bullet or swallow it whole I'm leaving trails of dial tones To push the feeling until it's broke Be sure loneliness is a test When your hands get colder and the "fun" started making your eyes run It wasn't part of the plan We were only children at best As the sand gets colder when the sun is swallowed by the horizon I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through When I say I'm not coming home, I mean it I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through When I say I'm not coming Maybe running has got to be the biggest mistake But I'm giving it all because you've given me all I can take If life is only as far as we go, Then every second is taking its toll Any chance could be your last roll Be sure loneliness is a test When your hands get colder and the "fun" started making your eyes run It wasn't part of the plan We were only children at best As the sand gets colder when the sun is swallowed by the horizon The biggest hearts are hard to fake I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through When I say I'm not coming home, I mean it, I mean it I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through When I say I'm not coming home, I mean it, I mean it, I mean it I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through (x4) If this is forever than you can forget it (x4) And I never made a promise that I had the chance to break Safety isn't getting us safely anywhere And I've lost your scars into the air You've bit the bullet and swallowed it all In the corner, with your back to the wall If your knees go, straight down is the only way to fall I think we're better off to go it alone than go on through, go on through When I say I'm not coming home, I mean it, I mean it (x2) (Safety isn't getting us anywhere) When I say I'm not coming home (x3) I mean it, I mean it, I mean it
