And I know I can't go on like this much longer
Oh God, don't make me face up to this
I got to get away
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
The love I'd wished for all this time
And running from you is what my best defense is
The fact I'm so weighed down
I just want to get by
I got to get away
And stop sign in this town

I just want to get by

God all this time I needed you, I needed you
I had no idea where my head was at
And I don't want to deal with that
'Cause I know that I let you down
Every stoplight
Get away from all of my mistakes
And when the doors were closed
And my resistance was once much stronger
Consequences

I'll get away despite
Get away from all of my mistakes
Now I think there might

And after all of my alibis desert me
I don't want nothing to hurt me
Get away from all of my mistakes
'Cause I know that I let you down

'Cause I just want for all of this to end
Oh God, don't make me face up to this
And I'm good, good, good to go

And I don't wanna deal with that
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And I so hate consequences
Be no way to stop me now
And running from you is what my best defense is
I heard no I told so's

And running from you is what my best defense is
And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that

And I so hate consequences
I stopped right there to catch my breath
Consequences
I hate these consequences
All of my escapes have been exhausted
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I said the words I knew you knew
And this isn't turning out the way I want
And after all of my alibis desert me

And I'm good, good, good to go
Oh God, oh God I needed you
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I don't want to deal with that

And my sins, they watched me leave
I don't want nothing to hurt me
I want to run away, I want to ditch my life
'Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And I'm good, good, good to go
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
'Cause I just want for all of this to end

I got to get away
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
And in my heart I so believed
And running from you is what my best defense is
And I so hate consequences
And I so hate consequences
The love you felt for me was mine
When I got tired of running from you
There your words they caught my ears
You said, "I miss you son, come home"
Tearing down
'Cause I know that I let you down

And I spent all last night
And every trace of momentum is gone
I had no idea where my head was at
