My love for this town will always come and go
But, I can’t leave now,
I don’t know how
I work my life away, and every day’s the same
But, I’ll tough it out,
If it makes you proud
I’m sorry now, that I ever let it go
But, I won’t change now, again, again
So I celebrate the small differences that I can make here,
Where I’ve been stuck for years
It’s gotten hard to remember who I use to be,
So much time has passed,
& I can’t look back
I’ve fallen into this life that’s not my own
But, I’ll tough it out
&, I hope you’re proud
I’m sorry now, that I ever let it go
But, I won’t change now, again, again
So I celebrate the small differences that I can make here,
Where I’ve been stuck for years
Well, I’m sorry now, that I ever let it go
But, I won’t change now, again, again
So I celebrate the small differences that I can make here,
Where I’ll be stuck for years
