Anything Was Better

I felt invisible, but everyone
 Was staring at me
 I felt alone, yet smothered
 Like no one would let me be
 I felt a yearning, like a burning
 Too hot to overcome
 'Cause anything was better than where I was from
 I met a band, they played a show
 And then we head out on the road
 We made it down to Arizona
 Where it didn't seem so cold
 I had a California Dream
 You know I need that fun, fun, fun
 'Cause anything was better than where I was from (yeah)
 Anything was better
 So I went out on the run
 Anything was better
 I couldn't wait to see the sun
 Anything was better
 I said goodbye to everyone
 Anything was better than where I was from (yeah)
 ♪
 Goodbye to old Queen Street
 Goodbye to Whitaker Park (yeah)
 I'm thankful for the lessons
 But the memories are dark
 Good riddance to that home
 Where the nightmare had begun
 Yeah, anything was better than where I was from (yeah)
 Anything was better
 So I went out on the run
 Anything was better
 I couldn't wait to see the sun
 Anything was better
 I said goodbye to everyone
 Anything was better than where I was from
 ♪
 Yay
 Woo
 ♪
 Anything was better
 So I went out on the run
 Anything was better
 I couldn't wait to see the sun (yeah)
 Anything was better
 I said goodbye to everyone
 Anything was better than where I was from (one more time)
 Yeah, anything was better
 Than where I was from
