Why I Hate It Here (Dyed Red 2011)

I remember where the sidewalk ends

Caught a shiner and a bloody lip

You know I try to be an optimist

But it's bringing me down

Bringing me down

When all I had was love to give

This city never gave a shit

Tell me, why did I put up with it?

Bringing me down

Bringing me down

The broken pieces of my heart are scattered 'round this town

Add them to a list of reasons I don't come around

All the walls are stained with memories

I tried, but can't erase

Even if I burned it down, I fear

I'd find another reason why I hate it here

All the streets are paved with jealousy

I tried but can't escape

Even if I burned it down, I fear

I'd find another reason why I hate it here

The air out here is poisonous

With all the preachers and the politics

Turning lovers into hypocrites

Bringing me down

Bringing me down

Every crowded room I'm in, I see your face somehow

Add it to a list of reasons I don't come around

All the walls are stained with memories

I tried, but can't erase

Even if I burned it down, I fear

I'd find another reason why I hate it here

All the streets are paved with jealousy

I tried but can't escape

Even if I burned it down, I fear

I'd find another reason why I hate it here

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

You know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

All the walls are stained with memories

I tried, but can't erase

Even if I burned it down, I fear

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

All the streets are paved with jealousy

I tried but can't escape

Even if I burned it down, I fear

I'd find another reason why I hate it here

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it

Oh, you know I hate it here

Oh, you know I hate it
