I don't get out much, anymore,
it's safer here in my own little world.
Safe from you,
and safe for me.
So lock the doors and throw away the key
take away the pain, and just let me be.
I can't take anymore, and I'm not gonna play.
Here in my own world is where I'm gonna stay.
I tried your world, and I tried your way,
and there was too much hurt each and every day.
All I saw was anger, hate and pain,
and it all caused my tears to fall like rain.
So I'm gonna lock the doors and throw away the key
take away the pain, and just let me be.
I can't take anymore, and I'm not gonna play.
Here in my own world is where I'm gonna stay.
Your world took its toll on me,
it tore out my heart and left me in pain.
There's no reason to give it all another try.
Consider this a long good-bye.
Cause I'm locking the doors and throwing away the key,
take away your pain, and just let me be.
I won't take anymore, and I'm not gonna play.
Here in my own world is where I'm gonna stay.
Cause I'm locking the doors and throwing away the key,
here's your pain, now just let me be.
I won't take anymore, and I'm not gonna play.
Here in my own world is where I'm gonna stay.
