I wanna change, but I don't know how

I've been trying to turn my life around

I've been to every party, every bar

Nothing thrills me in this city anymore

I guess I didn't know if I was happy (Ah)

I can't pretend, I can't pretend

Been feeling like I don't belong, and I see (Ah)

I've reached an end, I've reached an end

What, well, what can I do?

I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you

Why, well, why can't I change?

I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid, just too afraid

Just too afraid, that's why I stay

Get on the train, I go underground

People look so lonely with eyes turned down

This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be

But I need to get out

Nothing's gonna change the way I feel (Ah)

I can't pretend, I've reached an end

What, well, what can I do?

I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you

Why, well, why can't I change?

I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid, just too afraid

Just too afraid, that's why I stay

Just too afraid, just too afraid

Just too afraid, that's why I stay

Ah, it could all be different

Ah, in this life

Change your future in an instant

Ah, just to feel alive

What, well, what can I do?

I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you

Why, well, why can't I change?

I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

Just too afraid, just too afraid

Just too afraid, that's why I stay

Just too afraid, just too afraid

Just too afraid, that's why I stay

That's why I stay

That's why I stay
