[Verse 1]
Watching once more
As the world passes me by
Surrounded but still all alone
Am I living a lie?

[Chorus 1]
Empty faces empty eyes
Are staring right through me
No regrets, but I still ask why
Take me away to a peace I've never known

[Verse 2]
This is the price I've paid
And it's taken its toll
Can it be too much to ask
For the time it stole?

[Chorus 2]
Empty faces, empty eyes
Are staring right through me
No regrets but I still ask why
Take me away to a peace I've never known
Take me away where my life can be my own

[Bridge]
I only wish that I had stayed
I only wish that I had known
[Outro]
Take me away to a peace I've never known
Take me away where my life can be my own
Where my life can be my own
Take me away, take me away
