Intro
Mm
No way out
No way out
Verse 1
Fifteen years old and I learned to be small
Taught that love was patient
Taught that love was kind
Then his sister's words cut me down to nothing
And his mother looked right through me
Like I was nothing at all
Pre-Chorus
So I stayed quiet
Stayed gentle stayed sweet
Pulled my sleeves down over everything
Nobody knew
Nobody knew
Chorus
There's no way out
No way out of this house
I'm screaming with my mouth closed
And nobody hears a sound
There's no way out
No way out of this
I'm burying the truth in my skin
Where nobody finds it
Drop
Run run run
But the door won't open
Run run run
But the door won't open
Verse 2
Hair pulled back and a knife against my throat
Told myself this is love
Told myself I chose this
Torn down broken
Bruised where the sweater hides it
Almost died in that room
And he never took me anywhere
Pre-Chorus
I never said no
Never learned how to say it
I never said help
Never knew how to name it
Chorus
There's no way out
No way out of this house
I'm screaming with my mouth closed
And nobody hears a sound
There's no way out
No way out of this
I'm burying the truth in my skin
Where nobody finds it
Post-Chorus
Run run run
(Run run run)
Run run run
(Run run run)
Bridge
Twenty-four and I ran
Ran until the road forgot his name
But the nightmares know the way back
They always know the way back
He comes around like nothing happened
Like his memory burned clean
And I'm standing in the doorway of a fire
He can't even see
Chorus
There's no way out
No way out of this house
I'm screaming with my mouth closed
But now I'm letting it out
There is a way out
There is a way through
I am not his victim
I am the one who flew
Outro
Run
And never look back
Run
And never look back
