hate this town Lyrics

I take a cab down Main, just to pass your street

I'll be right on time, don't wait on me

I can't keep you safe, no I will let you down

These thoughts keep me awake

And I think I hate this town

And I stay awake all night

Cause I'd rather think than sleep

The things that keep me safe

They wound up making me bleed

So I built walls so tall, that they fell down on me

And since we'll never talk, I just write melodies

I see red more often than I'll ever vent

I've said some things to folks I love that I never meant

I want my cup to stay full, but I never pray for rain

It's like I'm begging for love

But terrified to take the pain that comes with it

So am I ever gonna get it?

I should stop right now

Cause I've been fighting for a minute, am I crazy

For believing there's more

All my cards are on the table

Face down, I'm on the floor, I got nothing left

I beat my chest and cry out, I need you God

He told me son, just lie down

I'll take a cab down Main, just to pass your street

I'll be right on time, don't wait on me

I can't keep you safe, no I will let you down

These thoughts keep me awake

And I think I hate this town
