I used to look for you out in the daylight
I took highways and sidestreets and back lanes
Slept under open skies

Life can be cruel
Life can be sweet if I want it to be

This town that I once called home
I just can't hold on to
It's got strip malls and bus stops and people
I would never even talk to

She said, Life could be sweet
But life is so cruel 'cause I let it be

Everybody out here
They wanna live somewhere else
I wish I could find a place
and stay there by myself

Bit by bit I swear I think I'm losing
All this city's confidence

Everybody out here
They wanna live somewhere else
I wish I could find a place
Stay there by myself

Bit by bit I swear I think I'm losing
All this city's confidence
I swear I've lost
All this city's confidence
