I've been seeing lonely
People in crowded rooms
Covering their old
Heartbreaks with new tattoos
It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes
Looking through low lights at silhouettes
But all I see is
Lonely people in crowded rooms
This city is gonna break my heart
This city is gonna
Love me then leave me alone
This city's got me chasin' stars
It's been a couple months
Since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer
To knowing where I belong?
This city is gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart
I remember mornings
Where my head didn't hurt
And I remember nights when art
Didn't feel like work
She wakes up at noon
And she's up 'til three
She leaves her perfume all over me
But I remember mornings
Where my head didn't hurt
Oh this city is gonna break my heart
(It's gonna break my heart)
This city is gonna
Love me then leave me alone
This city's got me chasin' stars
(It's got me chasin' stars)
It's been a couple months
Since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer
To knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart
She got a hold on me
She got me wrapped 'round her finger
She got a hold on me
She got me wrapped 'round her finger
This city is gonna break my heart
This city is gonna
Love me then leave me alone
(It's gonna love me then leave me alone)
This city's got me chasin stars
It's been a couple months
Since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer
To knowing where I belong?
This city is gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart
This city is gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart
