This City

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

This city's gonna break my heart

This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone

This city's got me chasing 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, oh

[Verse 2]

I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt

And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work

She wakes up at noon and she's out 'til three

She leaves her perfume all over me

But I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt

[Chorus]

Oh, this city's gonna break my heart (It's gonna break my heart)

This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone

This city's got me chasing stars (It's got me chasing stars)

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home (Oh)

Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart

She's always gonna break your heart

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]

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 (Oh yeah)

[Chorus]

This city's gonna break my heart

This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone (It's gonna love me, then leave me alone)

This city's got me chasing stars (Oh)

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 (Hey, yeah)

She's always gonna break your heart

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh

[Outro]

This city's gonna break my heart, hey

She's always gonna break your heart
