Leave This Town

Daughtry Leave This Town Lyrics
1.You Don't Belong

With time to kill and an empty tomb, I
always find a way to pass the time with you
Dark and smokey room
I can hardly stand the fumes
Telling me that you mean no harm, you
stand me up like a crutch, another arm
But only when I'm gone
Have I been away too long?

You don't belong to me/ I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
You'd tell me anything/ Look what you've done to me
And still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone

Any given time or place, I
never will forget the disgrace on
your face so full of love
Will it ever be enough?
Ten feet tall and bullet proof, I
never thought that I had a thing to lose
Well it looks like after all
I'm gonna have to choose

You don't belong to me/ I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
You'd tell me anything/ Look what you've done to me
And still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone

You help pass the time but I'm doing fine on my own
So there's no good reason why to live such a lie
Tell me have I been gone away too long?

You don't belong to me/ I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
You'd tell me anything/ Look what you've done to me
And still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone

Long gone


2.No Surprise

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...

It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as NO SURPRISE

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you
can't keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


3.Every Time You Turn Around

I've been me, I've been following my dreams
Trying to find the scene where you believed me
I've been true, I've been waiting here for you
I've been patient, understanding, and believing

(Every time you turn around)

I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
Every time you turn around

I've been good, I've been doing what I should
Working hard to make a world that we can live in
I've been strong, I've been holding out so long
And don't you forget that you're forgiven

I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
Every time you turn around

All the reasons you believe what you believe
Never seeing that the truth is part of me
When all I want to do is show you what it really means to love
What it really means to love

I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
I know you're standing there
Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let you down
Every time you turn around


4.Life After You

Ten miles from town
And I just broke down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone
Just trying to get home
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
Believe me, I won't stop at nothing to see you
So I've started running

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matter is love ever after
After all we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

Last time we talked
The night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back
Of my mind
I must have been high
To say you and I weren't meant to be
And just wasting my time
Oh why did I ever doubt you
You know I would die here without you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matter is love ever after
After all we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

You and I, right or wrong
There's no other one
After this time spent alone
It's hard to believe
That a man could be so blind
Thinking about the better times
Must've been out of mind
So I'm running back to tell you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
Without you God knows what I'd do


All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matter is love ever after
After all we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you


5.What I Meant To Say

I woke up today
Sinking like the stones that you have thrown
Wounded by the same old shots you take
It's easier to kick me when I'm low

And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Well, it's not too late
To say it right this time
'Cause I know I said, 'I'm sorry'
But that's not what I meant to say

Not strong enough to say that I don't wanna take the high road
now
It's just so typical of you to walk away
When your perfect little world is burning down

And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold
'Cause all this sucking up to you's just getting old
Well, it's not too late
To say it right this time
'Cause I know I said, 'I'm sorry'
But that's not what I meant to say

What I really meant to say
With every little breath I take
I'm not the only one that makes mistakes
Just think of all the ones you made

And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold
'Cause all this sucking up to you's just getting old
Well, it's not too late
To say it right this time
'Cause I know I said, 'I'm sorry'
But that's not what I meant to say


6.Open Up Your Eyes

A single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
A year from the day she said goodbye

Seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow
But as they laid him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes

A single lifetime lays behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door, he'll find her
Taking her hand, she softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life


7.September

Half the time passed away
All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste?
All the promises we made
One by one they vanished just the same

All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Now it all seems so clear
There's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long
That summer's moving on
Reach for something that's already gone
Yeah

All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Yeah we knew we had to lose this time
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
We would end up where we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when, and we never knew how
Never knew anything

All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Hey, yeah, yeah


8.Ghost Of Me

Thought it was dead and buried
Then it woke you up last night
Sought it so damn worried
You've been tossin' turnin'
Whole thing's been burnin'

I
Want to put your mind at ease again
Make everything alright
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I try to tell you now

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing in your dreams
Wait
There's no rhyme or reasons
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
You're looking at the ghost of me

You're looking at the ghost of me

Your imagination
And emotion's running wild
Fueling my frustration
Like a fire burning
Clock is turning

I
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I try to tell you now

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing in your dreams
Wait
There's no rhyme or reasons
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
You're looking at the ghost of me

Whoa

Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me
Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seein'
Wait
There's no rhyme or reasons
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
Visions when you're sleeping
Don't wake up and believe that
You're looking at the ghost of me

Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me
Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me


9.Learn My Lesson

Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for the sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up
Well I felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I've been broken
I still run right back for more

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You've found a field of flames
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing

Oh yeah

Sometimes I think I'm better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
Didn't give up the longing, believing
And belonging
Just hold down my head and take the lost

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You've found a field of flames
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You've found a field of flames
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing

I haven't learned a thing
I haven't learned, haven't learned
I haven't learned a thing


10.Supernatural

Lost from the start
I might as well be on the moon
Much colder than I thought
Even in the month of June
Nothing near vacation
Makes you feel so alone
Well, all need is patience
Which I've never really known

But now it's too late
It's taking over me
I feel so supernatural
And the farther you're away
Is more than I can take
And I'm losing all of everything
And no matter how I try
You know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural

Every step I take
Is leading me to where you are
But all that I believe in
Is keeping me from seeing too far
Throwing out the questions
Waiting for the right reply
Looking for the answers
Tell me will it be tonight

But now it's too late
It's taking over me
I feel so supernatural
And the farther you're away
Is more than I can take
And I'm losing all of everything
Well, it's more than physical
It's kinda hard to see far beyond the glow
And no matter how I try
You know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural

Through the atmosphere I'm seeing
Eclipses of the past I'm leaving
Holding out the life as we collide

But now it's too late
It's taking over me
I feel so supernatural
And the farther you're away
Is more than I can take
And I'm losing all of everything
It's more than physical
It's kinda hard to see beyond the glow
And no matter how I try
You know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural

Feel so supernatural
Feel so supernatural
Whoa
Feel so supernatural
Feel so supernatural


11.Tennessee Line

I open my lungs
To breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now, reminders of how I used to be
I know down the road
My troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window
Hell if I know where I will go
So I will just keep on driving

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learn
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time

Who would've known
That pride is so hard to swallow
As I rest on the shoulder of a road
Growing colder, with the trouble on I own
Should I just keep on driving

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learned
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time

I know I must be doing something right
Head the other way back to where I started out
Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
And stop living with doubt

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learned
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time


12.Call Your Name

You never said, you never said, you never said
That it would be this hard
Love was meant to be forever, now or never
Seems too discard
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you remain
When I call your name

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart
Your walls can only go down
But solo can you hear me
When I call your name

When I call your name

Caught again and situations are the makings of
All that's wrong
And I've been standin' in the river of deliverin'
Just way too long
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you hear me
When I call your name
So can you hear me
When I call your name

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart
Your walls can only go down
But solo can you hear me
When I call your name

You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name
You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name

Yeah

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart
Your walls can only go down
But solo can you hear me
When I call your name

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart
Your walls can only go down
But solo can you hear me
When I call your name
