I've been seein' lonely people in crowded rooms Coverin' their old heartbreaks with new tattoos It's all about smokescreens and cigarettes Lookin' 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 chasin' stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I gettin' closer to knowin' where I belong? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart, oh I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work She wakes up at noon and she's out 'til three She leaves her perfume all over me But I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt This city's gonna break my heart This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone This city's got me chasin' stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I gettin' closer to knowin' where I belong? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart She got a hold on me She got me wrapped round her finger She got a hold on me She got me wrapped round her finger, oh yeah This city's gonna break my heart This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone This city's got me chasin' stars It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home Am I gettin' closer to knowin' where I belong? This city's gonna break my heart She's always gonna break your heart This city's gonna break my heart, hey She's always gonna break your heart
