City - PUP

I was on the outside

I was looking in

Like a deer in the headlights

Stuck in slow motion

Like I was on the turnpike

No ability to steer

Can’t shake the feeling I’m starting to disappear

I’m weighed down in this city

It’s hard to live here, and I’ve been feeling restless

There’s this battle raging in me

Don’t want to love you anymore

But I can’t help it

I was on the outside

Like we were at the cinema

Your face was hidden

Behind the camera

I think I love you

More than I’d admit

And I was not prepared to be seeing you like this

And I’m weighed down in this city

It’s hard to live here, and I’ve been feeling restless

There’s this battle raging in me

Don’t want to love you anymore

But I can’t help it

And between you and me

This city’s slowly poisoning me

And as I rip into it’s scales

It rots beneath my fingernails

And when I try to claw out of the pit

All I do is get sucked back in

Don’t want to love you anymore

But I just can’t help it

And I’m weighed down in this city

And I’ve been feeling restless

There’s this battle raging in me

Don’t want to love you anymore

But I can’t help it
