This Town

Lyrics for This Town

I found my fear in the ashes Of this town as it burned When the smoke entered my lungs Suffocated on lessons I learned Made it out of the fire Ran away just in time Tried to kill my desire Tried to hold me here all of my life Suddenly I saw everything That I never could have done with you here (You here) Don't turn around now there's no road back home No fear to hold you back, just say you want it Say you want it more The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost Nobody ever leaves But this town won't take the best of me You dream about (every hope) Hidden away (but just below) The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh-so-thin You're terrified (of letting go) Nothing is reaped until it's sown No time to give in, just one life we live Moving forward is not failing Don't turn around now there's no road back home No fear to hold you back, just say you want it Say you want it more The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost Nobody ever leaves This town won't take the best of me When you feel your heart pumping in your chest It ignites the spark that you've always felt Do you trust yourself? Don't push those thoughts away Can you feel the life flowing through your veins? It never mattered what the voices said Life's not about how you fall You made it this far with the courage you had You carried the weight of it all And every dead end just begins a new path And oh, the places we'll go
