Boy, you thought you had me all figured out
Then I stretched my arms wide out and tried to fly
You took my heart and held it high above your head
Dwindled then I fell, I might be breathing but I’m still dead
And they’ll never see your face and all that you hide from them
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied
Get out of this city, out of this city now
If it was just me I wouldn’t care
Don’t even see you standing there
Get out of this city, out of this city now
You’ll probably die sad and all alone
They’re surrounding you now
This city’s no place for a boy
Boy, you fed me line and line again
I am not your lover nor your friend as far as anyone here is concerned
And I, I, I put myself out on the line for you so many times
I hope it hurts you to know that I faked it
Get out of this city, out of this city now
If it was just me I wouldn’t care
Don’t even see you standing there
Get out of this city, out of this city now
You’ll probably die sad and all alone
They’re surrounding you now, they’re surrounding you now
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out of this city, out of this city now
If it was just me I wouldn’t care
Don’t even see you standing there
Get out of this city, out of this city now
You’ll probably die sad and all alone
They’re surrounding you now
This city’s no place for a boy
