A New Town

I'm opting out

Of a happy trap

I know it's tough to wrap it up

But we have to face the facts

Let's go away a while

This place is just a worry

I'll help you remember why

You should appreciate me

Oh, how can you say I don't listen up?

I'm listening to everything

Oh, and I don't believe that you could give me up

So tell me you're pretending

We can keep it up

A new town is good for us

Why give up when we gave so much

When you're the only one I could ever trust?

I'm stretched like a nylon wire

Panic in my body

No hatred, no desire

Just a layer of drapery

Oh, I couldn't doubt that you gave enough

And you shouldn't doubt my honesty

But you're a fool to think that it's me who's stuck

And only you can handle everything

We can't keep it up

A new town is not enough

You're a tie that I have to cut

You're a crutch that I'm giving up
