After All These Years…Like a Lightbulb Going Off in My Head

I hate this town, I’ve always hated it

Just too many things I’ve been meaning to say

And not enough reasons for me to stay

And how can we just carry on?

‘Cause when you wake up, I’ll be gone

R: Building up your coffin

Burying your dreams

Making up excuses

To leave it all behind

It’s killing me

Your family and friends will always wonder “why?”

You hate this town, you’ve always hated it

Still too many things you’ve been meaning to say

And not enough reasons for me to stay

And how can we just carry on?

‘Cause when I wake up, you’ll be gone

R:

Baggage goes around the belt

These lies are killing my esteem

How much I want to laugh at the ones who carry on

Language barriers are keeping me awake

How do we translate the things that make us who we are

When it’s the same things that are keeping us apart?
