did i make a clean escape?
or will i feel you pull me back again?
the choices made have left a bitter taste
but i never told you
should have told you
got this city on it's knees
and i think i like it
can't you see that this is killing me?
cause every line in every song
reminds me of where i belong
can't pretend that what you said back then
was nothing more than desperate lies
so i turn my back and say goodbye
(alright!)
you'll never bring me down
so will i make it through the night?
the things i used to hold on to
they're all gone
the choices made have left a bitter taste
but i never told you
should have told you
walk away
turn and watch as it falls to the ground
the sky opens up to swallow you whole
(this city never forgets a face
and i've spent too long in this awkward place
all i want is to be free
cause you're all f*cking dead to me)
baby, tell me
can't you see that this is killing me?
cause every line in every song
reminds me of where i belong
can't pretend that what you said back then
was nothing more than desperate lies
so i turn my back and say goodbye
