My Own City Songtext
von Bethany Cosentino

If I′m dead
Then why do I feel alive?
I didn't even cry
When I left myself behind

If I′m dead
Well, I must be a mastermind
To had faked it for my whole life
Until this moment

I never got the chance to say goodbye
I didn't understand but now I know why

'Cause I don′t wanna stay the same
We were born to change
And you can fight it, but you′ll figure out
It's gonna happen anyway
They say relax, gotta stay on check
But I′m taking the back roads
In my own city (ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)


And I know
The past doesn't go away
Parts of it always stay
And turn into shadows

I′ve got no regrets
Forgive, forget, it's fine
But back in the day
I might have lost my mind

′Cause I don't wanna stay the same
We were born to change
And you can fight it, but you'll figure out
It′s gonna happen anyway
They say relax, gotta stay on check
But I′m taking the back roads
In my own city

I haven't felt this fire in all my life
I always thought it had to feel like sacrifice


′Cause I don't wanna stay the same
We were born to change
And you can fight it, but you′ll figure out
It's gonna happen anyway
They say relax, gotta stay on check
But I′m taking the back roads
In my own city

In my own city
In my own city
In my own city
