I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms Covering the old heartbreaks with new tattoos It's all about smokescreens and cigarettes Looking through low lights at silhouettes But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms The city's gonna break my heart The city's gonna love me then leave me alone The city's got me chasing stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong? The city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart I remember mornings where my head did not And I remember nights when I didn't feel like one She wakes up at noon and she's down to three She leaves her perfume all over me But I remember mornings where my head did not Oh, the city's gonna break my heart The city's gonna love me then leave me alone The city's got me chasing stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong? The city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart She got a hold on me She got me wrapped around her finger She got a hold on me She got me wrapped around her finger The city's gonna break my heart The city's gonna love me then leave me alone The city's got me chasing stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong? The city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart Oh, the city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart
