Leaving home that winter night
You were barely 17
You kept the bruises well out of sight
The scars that no one else can see
Where are you gonna go
A place they'll never know
Where are you gonna go
Anywhere but home
Anywhere but home
Burning bridges right beneath your feet
Every friend a casualty
You held the matches between your teeth
As you poured the gasoline
Where are you gonna go
A place they'll never know
Where are you gonna go
Anywhere but home
Do what it takes to stay alive
Whatever suits the situation
No one here can know your mind
What it cost you to survive
Where are you gonna go
A place we'll never know
Where are you gonna go
Anywhere but home
Anywhere but home
