This Town

Your daddy cares just a smidge to little

Your mamma drinks a hair too much

Swore you’d leave that God forsaken man after he tore your heart up

 

Crushing pills,

Dumbing down skills

So you don’t stick out around this town

I was fully grown, So I cannot condone

The way I saved myself and let you drown

 

Running from the beliefs

Never needing sleep

Cause my sun set with you

Always on a plan

But never stood a chance

Cause somethings ain’t ours to choose

 

Scraping rent,

Our names in cement

Slowly giving in to this town

I was fully grown, So I cannot condone

The way I saved myself and let you drown

 

Last time I saw you, I stared a little too long

That look in your eyes, you almost looked like stone

another storyof a pure person slowly getting broken down, you never once asked me to stay cause you knew that I would stick around

You saved me from this town You saved me

You saved me

You’re starting to care a smidge too little

You’re drinking a hair too much
