Lyrics for City's Face

All those years Just a shadow Of a ghost Of a memory, at most And how you strayed, an arrow Where you go Where you been? Where you came This city, I'm sick and tired And wild The city that I came to love I'm leaving Filled with paranoia inside Trust left with the loss of my pride I say, "So long" It's so strange, how a person can change a city's face A time and place Who we know And believe I believed, for too long What you did to me, wasn't wrong I grew to hate you And this place too This city, I'm sick and tired Am I The one that I forgot to love? I'm losing Filled with paranoia inside Trust left with the loss of my pride I say, "So long" It's so strange, how a person can change a city's face A person can change A person can change a city's face And the strangers I came to know They're all strange now All the strangers I came to know They're all strange now Strange now Strange now It's strange
