The Happiest Place In the World (Is Not Here)

Ran away
Away from the pain
Running away
Away again
Here to stay
Stay in this place
Staying away
Away from that place
And it's okay, to waste away
My life this way
And maybe find, a happy place
Sense you kill me this way
Maybe I'll stay, here today
And it's okay, to waste away
To end my life this way
In a happy place
If there was one, I'd stay
