[Verse 1]
Why don't you condone it
Why don't you set me free
I don't think you own it
Cause it belongs to me
And if I ever want to take it back
You try to lie and hide it
Look who laughing last
Everyone around me thinks they know
They try to see it
But I don't let it show
Stay out of my business
Keep your hands off my door
I've got a bed
I'd rather sleep on the floor
Screaming in my head
I don't like it anymore

[Chorus]
No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know

[Verse 2]
Nobody ever seems to understand
Every day I wake up
And do the best that I can
I got my problems
You got yours too
You try to label me
Have you ever looked at you
Nobody's perfect
I really think you do
And if you are why am I standing next to you

[Chorus]
No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know

[Verse 3]
I spin my wheels and try to figure it out
What's going on
And what's it all about
Where did I go wrong
I think I'm having my doubts
About what you said
And what you're going to do
I'm so pissed off
I blame it on you
I've done it all
There's nothing left for me to do
What's going on
Piss on you

[Chorus]
No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know
(Don't wanna know...)
