This Town Will Never Let Us Go (Acoustic Mix)

[Verse 1]
There's a place upon the earth that has never seen the sun
But a cruel twist of fate is where you and I are from
When you left I was happy for you but I felt so empty then
This is the last thing I expected, to see your face again

[Refrain]
Did the stitches of your dream begin to slowly come undone?
And before you turn around, you're falling flat on square one
If you found that hope was there then I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go

[Verse 2]
Must bе something in the water or hollows out your bonеs
Funny, I was born and raised here, it's never been my home
If they tell you that you're nothing, you accept it as a fact
Like I will always love you, you can never love me back
Did you reach the gates of heaven and discover they were closed?
They wouldn't know an angel if it kissed them on the nose
When you ask a hundred questions and then answered all the same
We don't want your kind of people, so just return the way you came
Yeah, you scream until you laugh
And you laugh until you cry
And you don't feel much of anything
You don't dare consider why

[Refrain]
And if you found the truth was owed
I could have told you so
And I know, you know, I know
This town will never let us go
This town will never let us go

[Verse 3]
There's a boy sat in the prison with enough brains inside his head
That he could have been a doctor but he killed a man instead
And a girl outside the laundry who just wanted to be heard
She's been hushed and criticized until she barely speaks a word
And the kids around the corner, who just lost their second dad
And you have to ask yourself what kind of chance they ever had
And their mother knows her meds are just a temporary relief
She might empty out the bottle if she could only get some sleep
But so it goes
