The doctor says I'm on medical leave
I'm certified with a broken heart and grief
I won't need no medicine to eat
I just need a few days alone to breathe
I'm out of here... Far away from here...

Tired of breathing all these dirt
Yeah, tired of saying the wrong words
Not first or second, it's not even third
I plead a thousand times, please set me free like a bird
I'm out of here... Fly away from here...

If you're the one to walk the path of god
I'm going to be the one looking into the devil's eyes
We just don't, we just won't, we just couldn't stand side by side

It's my off day today
No you, no pain, just me alone
I don't mind living in grey
No blue, no green, I don't need no paint
It's my off day today
Hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone

We've been playing the midnight hide and seek
I hid and ran so much I'm the MIA king
Take away my weight, hurt, pain and broken piece
So I can be light enough to be blown away with the wind
I'm out of here... Far away from here...

The words and feelings behind these eyes
When I look at you and say a goodbye
We gotta be strong and brave and fight the night
If we don't let our hearts see, we never see the light
I'm out of here... Let's get away from here...

They said there ain't road for me to the path of god
I'm not going to be lost by looking into the devil's eyes
We just don't, we just won't, we just couldn't see eyes to eyes

It's my off day today
No guilt, no hurt, just me alone
Mr. Perfect shows me her face
No right, no wrong, you made a mistake
It's my off day today
Hey, hey, hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone

Lost and found..
I can come in a minute, yeah then I can go in a second
Lost and found..
Be on time for work, yeah then I can go in a second

It's my off day today
Hey, hey, hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone
Let's get out of here...
