[Verse 1]
I was on the outside
I was looking in
Like a deer in the headlights
Stuck in slow motion
Like I was on the turnpike
No ability to steer
Can't shake the feeling I'm starting to disappear
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here, and I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Verse 2]
I was on the outside
Like we were at the cinema
Your face was hidden
Behind the camera
I think I love you
More than I'd admit
And I was not prepared to be seeing you like this
[Chorus]
And I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here, and I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Bridge]
And between you and me
This city's slowly poisoning me
And as I rip deeper into its scales
It rots beneath my fingernails
And when I try to claw out of the pit
All I do is get sucked back in
Don't want to love you anymore
But I just can't help it
[Chorus]
And I'm weighed down in this city
And I've been feeling restless
There's this battle raging in me
Don't want to love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Outro]
And I'm weighed down in this city
Don't want to love you anymore
