carry it around in your pocket
only to shake it in your dreams
you curse the rush cause you can't stop it
wondering when everyone got so mean
not accepting apologies in this
beautiful catastrophe
the city doesn't love you
drown your lullabies
the city doesn't trust you
why would it lie
for a heart that never sleeps
your tucked in just fine
the city doesn't love you
and neither do i
strive for your dreams
but you'll never risk it
tried your hand at the game
but you lost, so bad
got stuck in the current of hope and despair
oh so sad, what a lonely affair
this is where it's happening
all your thoughts unravelling
the city doesn't love you
drown your lullabies
the city doesn't trust you
why would it lie
for a heart that never sleeps
your tucked in just fine
the city doesn't love you
and neither do i
take a little more than
you can take in
go cry yourself to sleep
because you know
you'll never win
sorry baby it's just
the city doesn't love you
drown your lullabies
the city doesn't trust you
why would it lie
for a heart that never sleeps
your tucked in just fine
the city doesn't love you
and neither can i
the city doesn't love you
the city doesn't love you
