Lyrics

This Town

[Chorus]

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But I was a mess then, yeah

And you were still testing

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But you were a mess then

And I was still testing

[Pre-Chorus]

Whenever you leave and still have a doubt

And I still breathe when I'm alone

Whatever you need, as long as I know

It's when you just leave

And I can't go

[Chorus]

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But I was a mess then, yeah

And you were still testing

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But you were a mess then, yeah

And I was still testing

[Verse 1]

Stay still crawling around

Stay still mentioning out, and I

And I won't say I'm proud

Stay still, stay still, stay still

[Pre-Chorus]

Whenever you leave and still have a doubt

And I still breathe when I'm alone

Whatever you need, as long as I know

It's when you just leave

And I can't go

[Chorus]

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But I was a mess then, yeah

And you were still testing

'Cause you were the best thing

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But you were a mess then

And I was still testing

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]

Well I hiccuped

Like I finished

Doesn't matter if I get my way and (Da-da-da-da-da)

I fight winning, if I'm in it

Change my mind if I'm feeling strange and

I will make the time if you say it will take me back

Could've made it right when I said it

But you stood there smacked (Oh, you stood there)

[Verse 3]

I hope you ain't heard about my ways

And that you were the one that kept me safe

'Cause I had you and I knew it

And that was before I blew it (Was before I blew it)

And I hope you were saying (Uh, uh)

Hope is alive (Uh, uh)

Tried to be first

But no one survived

I, I, okay, I'll stop, I'll stop

[Pre-Chorus]

Whenever you leave (Whenever you leave)

And still have a doubt (And still have a doubt)

And I still breathe when I'm alone

Whatever you need, as long as I know

It's when you just leave, yeah, leave (Yeah)

And I can't go

[Chorus]

'Cause you were the best thing (I know you believe me)

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But I was a mess then, yeah (I was a mess then)

(I know you believe me, baby)

And you were still testing

'Cause you were the best thing (I know you believe me, baby)

And I was the best thing in that whole town

But you were the mess then (You were a mess then)

And I was still testing

[Outro]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, yeah

Ooh, we, we, we, we, we

We were still testing each other

We were still testing each other
