Warning Signs

I know I've tried to leave 
a hundred times before. 
Do you think you would believe 
me if I make it out the door? 

Emptied my closet, 
packed this life away. 
But don't think I could forget 
why I had to leave this way. 
This way

Woke up in the night 
so I could leave by morning. 
Don't think I'll get this right, 
but at least I gave you warning signs. 
But you never read between the lines. 

The road not taken 
is the one that takes me home. 
Did you feel me breaking? 
Or did you act like you don't know? 
I know you know. 

One foot in the good life, 
one foot in the grave. 
No hope in sight. 
Would have hated myself if I 
stayed. 
I couldn't stay. 

Woke up in the night 
so I could leave by morning. 
Don't think I'll get this right, 
but at least I gave you warning signs. 
But you never read between the lines. 
When I tried to say goodbye, 
I could feel the panic forming. 
In hindsight, 
I gave so many warning signs. 
You should have read between the lines.  

Making my way out 
of this city; 
think I'd know by now 
that it's never pretty 
running for your life. 
What if they find me? 
Gotta make it out 
of this city. 

Woke up in the night
so I could leave by morning. 
Don't think I'll get this right. 
Couldn't even say goodbye. 
I gave you every warning sign. 

Woke up in the night 
so I could leave by morning. 
Don't think I'll get this right, 
but at least I gave you warning signs. 
You should have read between the lines. 
Gotta catch my flight. 
I can feel the panic forming. 
In hindsight, 
you know I gave you warning signs. 
You should have read between the lines. 

I gave you every warning sign.
