Alone in The City Lyrics

I got my things and I ran away, cause I can't be tied down enough to stay

I think all I need is a change to help me forget how I was so betrayed

Nobody quite understands me like me

So I think I'm better off being lonely

I moved away and left my problems

I wanna restart with no trauma

Little certain things they take me back way then

But I don't wanna ever live through that again

Everyday became very hard

I knew I had to go, I had to go far

Navigating life on my own, I'm so excited

But I get nervous, what if I don't like it?

Finally the day has come and I'm driving now

I wish I could tell you, I know you'd be so proud

I avoid the places we went to

I can't go there cause I'm not with you

Ever since moving here I'm reminded of how things used to be before we were divided

I'm alone in the city

You're not here with me

I've got a new place to call my home

But it's not the same cause you're not ringing my phone

I know you miss me ever since you left me

Cause I'm not the only one alone in the city

Every time it gets so cold in my room

I'm taken back to when we first bloomed

I used to think we'd be here together

Silly me believing your "forever"s

Went to our spot, it made me cry a lot

I always knew I'd be forgot

I'm alone in the city

Things aren't what I thought they'd be

I thought I could escape from the past

But it seems I'm reminded of just that

I know I can never go back to how it was

I can try, but my efforts will never be enough
