Chicago

Give him up, let him go

Won't follow, won't let him follow

Take a breath, steal away

Let him play these games, play these game

Gain ground, won't fight

Not tonight, not turning off these lights

Can't shout, can't scream, think of me

But I can't let that be

Holding on, letting go

Why do we do this, we don't know

Stepping out, standing up

Look below, and still hanging under

Slipped away, off my feet

Can't believe how I've been stolen lately

Since the new avenue, don't know what to do

Just gotta let it take me

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can't run

Leaving town, wont be depending on tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done

Ride a wave, the new rave

Better loosen now, it's losing me

Caught between being me or tragedy, tragedy

Riding high, cloud nine

Won't let me through them gates no more

Found a place to escape, another door

Leaving another girl's soul

I wont be fine, about time

Need someone to hold back my hands

Let me loose, let me fall

They'll understand, understand

Hurt him once, maybe twice

They'll find you in a ditch somewhere

Spreading wings, little things

I'm keeping you away from me

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can't run

Leaving town, wont be depending on tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done

Shutting you out, shutting you out

The damage is done

Shutting you out, shutting you out

I'm shutting you out

I'm gonna leave you behind one step at a time

I'm gonna do it cause I said it so

I'm gonna make it cause I said so

Shutting you out

I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out

I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out

I'm gonna shut him

On a plane, I'm leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can't run

Leaving town, wont be depending on tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done

The damage is done, the damage is done

The damage is done, the damage is done

The damage is done, the damage is done

But the damage is done

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna be waiting no more

I don't wanna wait no more, Walking out the door

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna be waiting no more

I don't wanna wait no more
