There are times when
It feels right to
Run away, run away
When you ask the
Same old questions
Every day, every day

Why do I set the stage?
Why do I find my place
On the pedestal?
Why am I dancing away
From what I'm supposed to say
And pretend it's still
Best that you don't know?
It's best that you don't

I'll just wait in the wings
Cause I don't want to bring
It to light that the fact is I'm losing my mind
Oh, where do I go
Now I feel so alone
I'm a light-year away from the best days of my life

I sweep feelings
Under the rug
My own way, my own way
I act like nothing is
Going wrong and I'm okay
I'm okay, I'm okay

Why do I set the stage?
Why do I find my place
On the pedestal?
Why am I dancing away
From what I'm supposed to say
And pretend it's still
Best that you don't know?
It's best that you don't

I'll just wait in the wings
Cause I don't want to bring
It to light that the fact is I'm losing my mind
Oh, where do I go
Now I feel so alone
I'm a light-year away from the best days of my life
I'm a light-year away, ooh
I'm a light-year away, ooh

Oh, I'll just wait in the wings
Cause I don't want to bring
It to light that the fact is I'm losing my mind, yeah
Oh, where do I go
Now I feel so alone
I'm a light-year away from the best days of my life
I'm a light-year away, ooh
I'm a light-year away, ooh
I'm a light-year away
