This City

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'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

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
Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart, she's always gonna break your heart, oh

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

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

This city's gonna break my heart, hey
She's always gonna break your heart
