I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms
Covering their old heartbreak with new tattoos
It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes
Looking through lowlighted at silhouettes
But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms
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
But am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break my heart
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
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
But am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break my heart
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She got a hold on me
She got me wrapped 'round her finger
She got a hold on me (hold on me)
She got me wrapped 'round her finger
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
But am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break my heart
