Small Towns

Your mouth hangs open on the front porch step

You said it doesn't have to be this way

I know you'll never understand why

You keep asking yourself why wouldn't I stay

But I didn't have a choice

What do you think about that

What do you think about me

You know small towns just tie you down

I swear it's hard to breathe

It's not fair to either of us

You love him but I love none

You know small towns they tie me down

I swear I couldn't breathe

And there's no small town for me

For me

Forgive me if I don't reach out

I can't go back to that picket fence hell

Everybody tried to change my mind

But I know they'd all leave as well

Maybe if they had a choice

So what do you think about that

What do you think about me

You know small towns just tie you down

I swear it's hard to breathe

It's not fair to either of us

You love him but I love none

You know small towns they tie me down

I swear I couldn't breathe

And there's no small town for me

It's just something that I can't help

So don't hate me for it even if you won't support it

And I know you think that I've changed

Well maybe I've grown out of all my small town ways

So what do you think about that

What do you think about me

You know small towns just tie you down

I swear it's hard to breathe

It's not fair to either of us

You love him but I love none

You know small towns they tie me down

I swear I couldn't breathe

I know small towns they drown me out

Oh it's so hard to be

And there's no small town for me

For me

For me

For me
