[Verse 1]
My life
These days
Busy friends
And late trains
A mattress on the floor
In a city that's been good to me
All this distraction from my old life
It haunts my decisions and plagues my mind
'Cause after all
I'm just a kid
Who's aspiration's were never more than dreams
But they still remain

[Chorus]
I'm not going anywhere
(Anywhere)
I've fought so hard just to stand here
Overwhelming silence
(Silence)
I found where I belong
I needed this

[Verse 2]
And as smoke leaves my lungs
From my last cigarette
I'll fight my last fight
In a desperate attempt
To prove that I'm worth it
Worth your attention
Portrayed my rendition
Of a broken boy
I'm so tired of hiding
Behind my pen
It only goes to paper
What comes off my chest
But I can't forget
[Verse 3]
I've struggled to find a place that I could stay
Because settling has never been an option for me
I'd trade it in to never feel afraid
But everything goes away

[Chorus]
I'm not going anywhere
(Anywhere)
I've fought so hard just to stand here
Overwhelming silence
(Silence)
I found where I belong
I needed this

[Bridge]
According to me
I'm my own worst enemy
I can't keep a simple promise
Or even swear on anything
The bottle attached to my hand
Proves addiction makes
For a lesser man
And I can't muster up
The motivation
To break away
From this fucking pattern
[Chorus]
I'm not going anywhere
(Anywhere)
I've fought so hard just to stand here
Overwhelming silence
(Silence)
I found where I belong
I needed this
