This brick wall I tried so hard to build, is tumbling down. - Me (AliceAngel)<br /> <br /> If drama were vodka, everyone at my school would be drunk. - Chloe, one of my friends.

You've turned this game around,
and now i'm not the only one hurting.
And now i've heard the sound,
the sound of you hurting.

It breaks my heart,
almost as much as you've already broken mine.
Youve torn me apart,
you won't let me shine.

Now it's time to breakout,
and time to fly.
Now its time to scream and to shout,
and to say goodbye.

I'm not coming back,
no matter how much you beg.
I'm not coming back,
because i need to hold on to my head.

I need to know what it's like,
what it's like to be free.
I need to know what it's like,
what it's like to be me.
