I Hate This Town Lyrics



(Verse)

Or fine as it was for me

To see your face today

I guess I knew that it would happen at some point

And I dreaded it because I knew

That you would be so kind

You could've died you've got it right down to the signs



So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books

of Vatican

And tell me you I enjoy my stay

And I feel none that I can believe

That I was stupid enough to leave my bed today

If I'm so smart then why's this happening



(Chorus)

You know I hate this fucking town

You cannot even leave your fucking house

Without running into someone who no longer cares about

you

Somebody who you desperately want to see

But you know it's only going to cause more grief

But there's nothing left to say

And he can't hear you anyway



(Verse)

It's so confusing 'cause I really want

To hate you, but my intellect reminds me

That that doesn't make no sense

And I wanted to be your friend

But I couldn't pull it off in the end

And I'm disappointed with myself as I thought I did



But then again you always made it clear

That you do not care either way

Which begs the question

How can I still claim to love you

You told me time and time again

That you don't lose you always win

And that to make an effort would just be beneath you



(Chorus)

You know I hate this fucking town

You cannot even leave your fucking house

Without running into someone who no longer cares about

you

Somebody who you desperately want to see

But you know it's only going to cause more grief

But there's nothing left to say

And he can't hear you anyway



Now I'm packing my bags again

And you are not in the saddle then
