I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan
And always knew I wanted to leave
But the jobs are going fast
And getting a job is like a race
A race in which I am dead last

[pre-chorus]
I always knew I wanted to leave
But lately it seems
That the want has become a need
I need to flee this city
But where do I go

[chorus]
This city has become my prison
I need to break out
And search for a better life
But my hopes are quickly fading
I don’t know where to go

If I could get a job
I could save the money
Get an apartment somewhere
But where
Well anywhere is better than here

[pre-chorus]
I always knew I wanted to leave
But that want has become a need
I need to flee this city
Leave the life I know behind
But where do I go

[chorus]
This city has become my prison
I need to break out
And search for a better life
But my hopes are quickly fading
I don’t know where to go

Anywhere is better than here
I wanna go somewhere warm
Somewhere on the coastal line
It seems like that’s a dream
That will never come true

[pre-chorus]
I always knew I wanted to leave
But that want is now a need
I need to break through the walls
And flee this prison town
But where do I go

[chorus]
This city has become my prison
I need to break out
And search for a better life
But my hopes are quickly fading
I don’t know where to go

In the beginning we were happy
We loved each other so much
And would do anything for each other
After a month of things going perfect
Your love started to fade

[Pre-chorus]
You said let’s forget about each other
And get on with our lives
But you don’t realize
I will never get over you
You’ll always be in my mind

[Chorus]
The first time we talked
I felt something special was to come
But I could not have been more wrong
Now you're with him
And I’m left with a broken heart

I know that you're his now
But I can’t forget about you
And I’d still do anything for you
Now I spend my nights wishing
That you could be mine

[Pre-chorus]
You said let’s forget about each other
And move on with our lives
But what you don’t realize
Is that I can’t ever
Forget about you

[Chorus]
The first time we talked
I felt something special was to come
But I could not have been more wrong
Now you're with him
And I’m left with a broken heart

My heart is still broken
And you're the only one who can fix it
‘cause I am still in love with you
And I can’t forget you

[pre-chorus]
You said let’s forget about each other
And get on with our lives
But have you truly forgotten me
I loved you so much then
And I will still do anything for you

[chorus]
The first time we talked
I felt something special was to come
But I could not have been more wrong
Now you're with him
And I’m left with a broken heart

Love is a word I thought I’d never use
Until the first time I talked to you
Now that you're gone, my heart is too
It is still with you beating in sync with yours

[pre-chorus]
You said let’s forget about each other
And move on with our lives
But what you don’t realize
Is I can’t move on
You're the only one for me

[Chorus]
The first time we talked
I felt something special was to come
But I could not have been more wrong
Now you're with him
And I’m left with a broken heart

[spoken]
Oh how I wish we could be together
At least one last time
So I’ll say it again
But just one more time
I wish you were mine
