[Verse 1]
I've been seeing lonely people in crowded rooms
Covering their old heartbreaks with new tattoos
It’s all about smoke screens and cigarettes
Looking through low lights at silhouettes
But all I see is lonely people in crowded rooms

[Chorus]
This city's gonna break my heart
This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone
This city’s got me chasing stars
It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart, oh

[Verse 2]
I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt
I remember nights when art didn't feel like work
She wakes up at noon and she's out ’til three
She leaves her perfume all over me
I remember mornings when my head didn’t hurt

[Chorus]
Oh, this city's gonna break my heart
This city’s gonna love me, then leave me alone
This city's got me chasing stars
It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city’s gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
She got a hold on me
She got me wrapped 'round her finger
She got a hold on me
She got me wrapped 'round her finger, oh, oh

[Chorus]
This city's gonna love me, then leave me alone
This city's got me chasing stars
It's been a couple months since I felt like I'm home
Am I getting closer to knowing where I belong?
This city's gonna break my heart
She's always gonna break your heart

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh

[Outro]
This city's gonna break my heart, yeah
She's always gonna break your heart
