This Town Will Never Let Us Go Video (MV)

There's a place upon the earth that has never seen the sun,
And by a cruel twist of fate it is where you and I are from.
When you left I was happy for you, but I felt so empty then,
And it was the last thing I expected to see your face again.

Did the stitches of your dreams begin to slowly come undone?
And before you turned around you're falling flat on square one?
If you found that hope was heavy, I coulda told you so,
And I know you know I knowthis town will never let us go.

There must be something in the water that hollows out your bones
Funny, I was born and raised here but it's never been my home.
If they tell you that you're nothing, you accept it as a fact
Like how I will always love you, and you can never love me back.

Did you reach the gates of heaven and discover they were closed?
Ah, they wouldn't know an angel if it kissed them on the nose.
When you ask a hundred questions and they're answered all the same,
We don't want your kind of people, so just return the way you came

Yeah you scream until you laugh, and you laugh until you cry,
And you don't feel much of anything, or dare consider why.
And if you found that truth was hard, I coulda told you so.
And I know you know I know. This town will never let us go.

There's a boy sat in the prison with enough brains inside his head
That he could have been a doctor, but he killed a man instead.
And a girl outside the laundry who just wanted to be heard,
But she's been hushed and criticised until she hardly speaks a word.

And the kids around the corner, they just lost their second dad,
And you have to ask yourself what kind of chance they ever had.
And their mother knows her meds are just a temporary relief
She might empty out the bottle if she could only get some sleep
And so it goes
