I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms Covering their old heartbreaks with new tattoos It's all about smoke screens and cigarettes Looking 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 chasing stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart, oh I felt like a stranger on this road I chose The more people around, the more I felt alone Shaken by the sound of the sirens that fill the streets Now I'm wide awake in the city that never sleeps But now I'm here with you And I can say I made it through Oh, this city's gonna break my heart This city's gonna love me then leave me alone This 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? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart, oh 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 This city's gonna break my heart This city's gonna love me then leave me alone This 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? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart She's always gonna break your heart
