This Town Will Never Let Us Go Songtext
There's a place upon the earth that has never seen the sun
But a cruel twist of fate is where you and I are from
When you left us [?], I felt so empty then
This is the last thing I expected, to see your face again
Did the stitches of your dream begin to slowly come undone?
Before you turn around, you're falling flat on square one
If you found that hope was there then I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go
But a cruel twist of fate is where you and I are from
When you left us [?], I felt so empty then
This is the last thing I expected, to see your face again
Did the stitches of your dream begin to slowly come undone?
Before you turn around, you're falling flat on square one
If you found that hope was there then I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go
Must be something in the water or hollows out your bones
Funny, I was born and raised here
It's never been my home
If they tell you that you're nothing, accept it as a fact
Like I will always love you, you can never love me back
Did you reach the gates of heaven and discover they were closed?
They wouldn't know an angel, if it kissed them on the nose
When you ask a hundred questions and then answered all the same
We don't want your kind of people, so just return the way you came
Yeah, you scream until you laugh
And you laugh until you cry
And you don't feel much of anything
You don't dare consider why
And if you found the truth was owed
I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go
This town will never let us go
There's a boy sat in the prison With enough brains inside his head
That he could have been a doctor but he killed a man instead
And a girl outside the
That just wanted to be heard
She's been hushed and criticized till she barely speaks a word
And the kids around the corner, who just lost their second dad
And you have to ask yourself what kind of chance they ever had
And their mother knows her [?] are just a temporary relief
She might empty out the bottle if she could only get some sleep
But so it goes
Funny, I was born and raised here
It's never been my home
If they tell you that you're nothing, accept it as a fact
Like I will always love you, you can never love me back
Did you reach the gates of heaven and discover they were closed?
They wouldn't know an angel, if it kissed them on the nose
When you ask a hundred questions and then answered all the same
We don't want your kind of people, so just return the way you came
Yeah, you scream until you laugh
And you laugh until you cry
And you don't feel much of anything
You don't dare consider why
And if you found the truth was owed
I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go
This town will never let us go
There's a boy sat in the prison With enough brains inside his head
That he could have been a doctor but he killed a man instead
And a girl outside the
That just wanted to be heard
She's been hushed and criticized till she barely speaks a word
And the kids around the corner, who just lost their second dad
And you have to ask yourself what kind of chance they ever had
And their mother knows her [?] are just a temporary relief
She might empty out the bottle if she could only get some sleep
But so it goes
