After All These Years Like a Light Bulb Going Off in My Head

I hate this town, I’ve always hated it Just too many things I’ve been meaning to say And not enough reasons for me to stay And how can we just carry on? ‘Cause when you wake up, I’ll be gone [Chorus] Building up your coffin Burying your dreams Making up excuses To leave it all behind It’s killing me Your family and friends will always wonder “why?” You hate this town, you’ve always hated it Still too many things you’ve been meaning to say And not enough reasons for me to stay And how can we just carry on? ‘Cause when I wake up, you’ll be gone [Chorus] Baggage goes around the belt These lies are killing my esteem How much I want to laugh at the ones who carry on Language barriers are keeping me awake How do we translate the things that make us who we are When it’s the same things that are keeping us apart?
