Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying

Oh, 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 or worse
 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
 With naivety succeeds
 At the final moment, I cried
 I always cry at endings
 I always cry at endings
 ♪
 Oh, 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 swords
 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
 Oh, get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Oh, I'm dying
 Oh, I'm dying
 Oh, I'm dying, yeah
 Oh, get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Get me away, I'm dying
 Oh, I'm dying
 Oh, I'm dying
