Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna change but I don't know how
I've been tryin' to turn my life around
I've been to every party, every bar
Nothing thrills me in this city anymore
[Verse 2]
I guess I didn't know if I was happy
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Been feeling like I don't belong
And I see I've reached an end, I've reached an end
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
Just too afraid
That's why I stay
[Verse 5]
Get on a 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
[Verse 6]
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel
I can't pretend, I've reached an end
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Oh, it could all be different
Oh, in this life
Change your future in an instant
Oh, just to feel alive
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
That's why I stay
That's why I stay
