I'm just a fool, no disguise I still get hurt same old pride But growing older, I've realized There's not a place in my life tonight I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged Shakin' the blues every night Been all alone, no surprise Don't you forget me, I'm so blind I'm coming back one more time tonight I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged If these streets were empty With nothing to see You could take me from this town Oh, but you won't take this town out of me Too many years can't forget So many dreams ain't done yet An' all of these memories still the same I'm going home and I'll remain unchanged I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged

Your like a vampire, in your agency Taking blood for your infancy But hey stay away Away from me All I wanted was to be free Not from god but from the maze you see Let me roam around these streets In the night Which you're plagued to see Let me roam until I'm free Late at night It's just god and I Try to divide the way we survive It's not unholy to live by moonlight It's just a path with less light Even monsters have their pride So take your time, take your time at night You're like a vampire when you sing to me About all the things you need from me Is it money does it bleed from these Cuts you made, made with your teeth Is it fame, do you want a name Tell me Something strange, your a little bit vain, how am I to stay sane It's not cheap,to stay in your lane, the price is steep to avoid the pain Late at night It's just god and I Try to divide the way we survive It's not unholy to live by moonlight It's just a path with less light Even monsters have their pride So take your time, take your time at night
