Leave

Daddy's on the sofa, turning up another bottle to unleash when I get home

I pretend he doesn't hit me

Momma just pretends that she don't know.

I used to think of talking

Talking to my preacher

He says I should just forgive and forget.

Now my baby brother just sits and recollects the same regrets.

And I just wanna leave

Oh, God, please help me now, I wanna leave.

As if that's not enough

We're the new family around here

Guess that's all the reason some kids need

'Cause they all call me names, and say I should just take it on the chin.

If I'm overreacting, then why is it so cold here

Why is it so cold here, in this hell

Why would my friend Suzy

Tell me I should just go kill myself?

And I just wanna leave

Oh, God, please help me now, I wanna leave

And I, I just wanna leave

Oh, God, please help me now, I wanna leave

Oh, I wanna get out of here

Oh, God, help me now, I really wanna leave,

(oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, ohh)

And I, just wanna leave

Oh, God, please help me now, I wanna leave

Oh, but I, I just wanna believe

Oh, God, please hear me now, I wanna believe

I just need to know, that You're really out there

Tell me if You're really out there, 'cause I believe.
