lyrics

They say the grass is always greener
On the other side, but it ain't true
Oh, no, it didn't last for more than days

I rocked the whole foundation
Of the world, the world where I was born
Oh, no, it didn't even shake
The way it should

I burned the bridges, set the place on fire
And turned my back on you
Oh, no, I was a fool
In every way

My heroes were all masters in the
Art of leaving troubles all behind
Oh, no, but they were blind
For what they left

I was a quitter, I ran away
Whenever troubles crossed my way
I didn't know, what I left
I only knew how to run away

They raised me with the myth of being a loner
No matter what the price
Oh, no, I was a chump
For all those years

The shortest way was always to the door
And someone said: Don't look back!
Oh no, and so I didn’t
’Til today

I was a quitter, I ran away
Whenever troubles crossed my way
I didn't know, what I left
I only knew how to run away
