Leave this Town

Chris 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 rooms
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?

No
You don't belong to me
I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
No 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

No
You don't belong to me
I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
No 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?

No
You don't belong to me
I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, its hard to be strong
No 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 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
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 been me,
I been followin' my dreams
Tryin' to find the scene where you believed me.

I been true,
I been waiting here for you.
I been patient, understanding and believing.

Whoa whoa
Every time you turn around
Whoa whoa
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road, baby
But I won't let ya 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 ya down
Every time you turn around yeahh

I been good,
I been doin' what I should
Workin' hard to make a world that we can live in

I been strong,
I been holding out so long
And I don't you to 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 ya 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 ya down
Every time you turn around.yeahh

All the reasons you believe what you believe
Never seeing that the truth is a part of me
And all I wanna do is to 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 ya 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 ya down
Every time you turn around Ohhhh

Every time you turn around Ohhhh

Every time you turn around Ohhhh

Every time you turn around


4.Life After You

Ten miles from town
And I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone
Just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life 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've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant ot be
And just wasting my time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I woule die here without you.

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life 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 I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times,
Must've been outta my mind
So I'm runnin' back to tell you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do yeahh

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
I know there's no life after you.
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you yeah


5.What I Meant To Say

I woke up today
Sinkin' 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

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I'm strong enough to say
That I don't wanna take the high road now
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 is 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 who makes mistakes
Just think of all the ones you've 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 is 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.
Not what I meant to say
Can I be so bold?
'Cause all this sucking up to you is 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 pecae 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 pecae 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
Just open up your eyes


7.September

How 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 vanish just the same.

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain.

In the middle of September
We'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on 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
We reach for something that's already gone yeah

Of all the things I remember
Summer's never looked the same
The year's go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain.

In the middle of September
We'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when we never knew how
We would end up here the way we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain.

In the middle of September
We'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end


8.Ghost Of Me

Thought it was dead and buried,
Then it woke you up last night
You sounded so damn worried
You've been tossing,
Turning, both ends burning
I, I wanna put your mind at ease again
(Make everything alright)
I know it's getting underneath your skin
I've tried 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 reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're looking at the ghost of me

You're looking at the ghost of me
With your imagination
And emotions running wild
Fueling my frustrations
Like a fire burning, clock keeps turning
I, I know it's getting underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you know

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 reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're looking at the ghost of me

You're looking at the ghost of me

You're looking at the ghost of me

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me
You're seeing ...
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meaning
In the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
Visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're looking at the ghost of me

You're looking at the ghost of me

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'll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for that sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up
I've felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I've been broken
I still run back for more

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the math,
You're bound to feel the flamee

You think that I'd learn the cost of love
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

Sometimes I think I'm better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the math,
You're bound to feel the flamee

You think that I'd learn the cost of love
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

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the math,
You're bound to feel the flamee

You think that I'd learn the cost of love
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
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You think that I'd somehow figure out
I haven't learned, I 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
No communication makes ya feel so alone
Well all we need is patience in which I've never really known

But now it's too late,
It's taking over me
It feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way
It's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
And no matter how I try
You know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural

Every step I've taken has
Led me here 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
It feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way
It's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
When it's more than physical
It's kind of hard to see 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
Glimpses of the past I'm leaving
Holding on for life as we collide

Now it's too late,
It's taking over me
It feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way
It's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
When it's more than physical
It's kind of hard to see beyond the glow
And no matter how I try
You know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural
'Cause you feel so supernatural

'Cause you feel so supernatural

'Cause you feel so supernatural

'Cause you 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

And on down the road
My troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window,
The hell if I know where I will go
So I'll just keep on driving

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,
First to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line (Tennessee line)
Just changed my mind ,
Well it's my heart I'll follow this time

Who would've known (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 I own,
Should I just keep on driving?

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,
First to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line (Tennessee line)
Just changed my mind,
Well 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 (yeahh)

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,
First to last bad call that I ever made

Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line (Tennessee line)
Just changed my mind ,
Well it's my heart I'll follow this time
I've sworn off my past,
First to last bad call that I ever made
(Well it's my heart I'll follow this time)
I've sworn off my past,
First to last bad call that I ever made
I'm gonna turn it all around tonight
(Turn it all around tonight)
(Turn it all around tonight)

I'm gonna turn it all around tonight
At the Tennessee line.


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 I never cease to discard
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

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 word can only go down but so low
Can you hear me?
When I call your name

When I call your name

Complicated situations are the
Makings of all that's wrong
And I've been standing in the river
Of deliverance 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

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 word can only go down but so low
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)

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 word can only go down but so low
Can you hear me?
When I call your name

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 word can only go down but so low
Can you hear me?
When I call your name
