I came for the freedom
But I stayed for the fear
We all told each other
We'd be happier here
But we lied, but we lied

The city is getting me down
The city is getting me down
The city is not what I thought it would be
And I want to leave

What a stereotype I am
I came for the life
But it's sucking it out
I keep telling myself
I'll be somebody else
Someone who's happier here

The city is getting me down
The city is getting me down
The city is not what I thought it would be
And I want to leave
