I've been seein' lonely people in crowded rooms

Coverin' their old heartbreaks with new tattoos

It's all about smokescreens and cigarettes

Lookin' 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 chasin' stars

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home

Am I gettin' closer to knowin' 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 chasin' stars

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home

Am I gettin' closer to knowin' where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart

She's always gonna break your heart

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 chasin' stars

It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home

Am I gettin' closer to knowin' where I belong?

This city's gonna break my heart

She's always gonna break your heart

This city's gonna break my heart, hey

She's always gonna break your heart
