Back To Nothing

Whoa-oh! (yeah!)

I packed my bags at midnight,

didn't tell anybody why.

I had a thousand words to say,

but left them all behind.

The streetlights blurred around me,

the city fading in the glass.

I knew if I stayed one more night,

I'd never make it past.

So I'm leaving every shadow

that was holding me down.

I don't know where I'm going,

but I'm getting out now.

I'M GOING BACK TO NOTHING!

BACK TO WHERE I STARTED!

NO MORE LIVING IN THE PAST,

NO MORE BROKEN HEARTS!

I'D RATHER HAVE NOTHING THAN A LIFE THAT ISN'T MINE!

I'M GOING BACK TO NOTHING!

AND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND!

Whoa-oh!

Leave it all behind!

Whoa-oh!

I'm gonna be alright!

Whoa-oh! BACK TO NOTHING!

I used to count the reasons why I couldn't walk away.

Now I'm counting every mile

between yesterday and today.

Maybe I was scared of changing.

Maybe I was scared to lose.

But you can't find a new direction

if you're scared to choose.

So I'm leaving every memory

that kept me standing still.

I don't know what tomorrow brings,

but I'm ready for it still.

Maybe nothing isn't nothing.

Maybe nothing is a chance.

Maybe losing everything

is how you finally take a stand.

I spent too long

trying to be somebody else.

Now I'm standing here and I'm choosing myself.

I'M DONE RUNNING! I'M DONE

HIDING! I'M DONE WAITING FOR MY LIFE TO START!

I'M GOING BACK TO NOTHING!

BACK TO WHERE I STARTED!

NO MORE LIVING IN THE PAST,

NO MORE BROKEN HEARTS!

I'D RATHER HAVE NOTHING THAN A LIFE THAT ISN'T MINE!

I'M GOING BACK TO NOTHING!

AND I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND!

BACK TO NOTHING! BACK TO NOTHING!

I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL FIGHTING!

BACK TO NOTHING! BACK TO NOTHING!

THIS IS WHERE

I START AGAIN!

Whoa-oh! I'm gonna be alright!

Whoa-oh! Leave it all behind!

BACK TO NOTHING!

Nothing to lose.

Nothing to hide.

I'm finally alive.
