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
