Getaway

from Tortoise by Michael Hahn

about

I wrote this song for a friend and my then-girlfriend almost dumped me because she thought it was about her. #narcissist
Okay, it was about her a little bit. This song was never finished, so after the first verse I just started making stuff up.

lyrics

fast to get away i seem to be stuck here
she stands above me
preaching what she wants me to hear
but i'm gonna get away, i swear to god
yeah, i'm gonna get away, i swear to god
one of these days
i'm gonna get away, i swear to god

BUT SHE ONLY WAITS FOR ME
SHE DON'T NEED ANY HOME
SHE JUST WANTS TO BE WITH ME
I SWEAR I MAY NOT LEAVE HER TODAY
BUT I'M GONNA FIND SOMEONE ELSE
I'M FAST TO GET AWAY

she don't know what i want
she has no clue
she just sits there staring
got nothing to do
she don't care about what i think
she just uses me for my...
uh, mind
she just uses me for my mind

SHE JUST THINKS OF ME AS SOMETHING
SOMETHING TO
SHE JUST THINKS OF ME AS SOMETHING
ELSE TO PLAY WITH
STILL A KID
SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS
JUST THINKS OF ME AS ANOTHER TOY
WELL, FUCK HER

because i found someone new
because i found someone new
i am so happy
i found someone new
and i won't ever be hurt again
she loves me
i have never been so happy
because she loves me
listen, bitch, all you did was use me
but i've got a new girl and i can't explain
how content i am, oh
there was a time when you thought i cared for you

FUCK YOU
I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE
I GOT A NEW GIRL
SOMEONE THAT I CARE FOR
SOMEONE WHO LOVES ME BACK
AND I'M FAST TO GET AWAY
FAST TO GET AWAY
AND NOW I'M GONE
