“I cannot find a way to describe it.
It's there inside; all I do is hide.
I wish that it would just go away.
What would you do, you do, if you knew?
What would you do?

All the pain I thought I knew.
All the thoughts lead back to you .
Back to what was never said.
Back and forth inside my head.
I can't handle this confusion.
I'm unable; come and take me away.

I feel like I am all alone.
All by myself; I need to get around this.
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you.
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand.
Cuz no one understands.

All the pain I thought I knew.
All the thoughts lead back to you .
Back to what was never said.
Back and forth inside my head.
I can't handle this confusion.
I'm unable; come and take me away.

I'm going nowhere (on and on and.)
I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on.)
Take me away.
I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on.)
(and off and on.)

All the pain I thought I knew.
All the thoughts lead back to you .
Back to what was never said.
Back and forth inside my head.
I can't handle this confusion.
I'm unable; come and take me away.

Take me away.
Break me away.
Take me away,”
—Avril Lavigne, “Take Me Away”

I'm trapped. It's like a road, a road I took that I knew I shouldn't have, and in the end, I was right; a dead end. It could've turned out differently. In fact, I know it should've. But I hadn't given it much thought. I just knew that no matter what, no one, no one at all, could ever find out about what had happened. What still happens. And what has left me so scarred and broken.

My heart, it's shattered now. My soul, it's fractured to a point where I'm sure if I keep going the way I am, it'll break beyond repair. I can't tell anyone anything. Those razor-sharp words that go through my mind, they're not really mine. They were fed to me by...I wish I could say something to someone. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not getting anywhere with this path. But no one will understand. I only just barely understand it myself. I want to escape from this prison I'd built, these walls I put up to hide the truth behind.

Take me away.
