The Summer Ends - Chicago Lyrics

We fought fire with fire till the spark gave out
We watched the embers burn at the edge of town
We always talked about getting outta this place
But now your room is filled with empty space
I can't go back to Chicago
I really wish you could know
How much you meant to me
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
There's nothing that I can do
I'm sorry that I had to go
But I'm never going back to Chicago
I remember all the drives to Lake Michigan
Just so we could go to the beach
But I don't think I would ever wanna do that again
Because you seemed so out of reach
I can't go back to Chicago
I really wish you could know
How much you meant to me
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
There's nothing that I can do
I'm sorry that I had to go
But I'm never going back to Chicago
All the lights on the highway
Have never seemed so dim
The tide keeps on rising
It's getting harder and harder to swim
It's time I leave this place behind
Leave this place behind
I can't go back to Chicago
I really wish you could know
How much you meant to me
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
There's nothing that I can do
I'm sorry that I had to go
But I'm never going back to Chicago
To Chicago
