Killing Me

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 fucking 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
