EN

I remember when the sidewalk ends Caught a shiner and a bloody lip You know I try to be an optimist But it's bringing me down Bringing me down When all I had was love to give This city never gave a shit Tell me, why did I put up with it? Bringing me down, bringing me down The broken pieces of my heart are scattered 'round this town Add them to a list of reasons I don't come around All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paved with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here The air out here is poisonous With all the preachers and the politics Turning lovers into hypocrites Bringing me down Bringing me down (down) Every crowded room I'm in I see your face somehow (I see you) Add them to a list of reasons I don't come around All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paved with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here You know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paved with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here You know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here
