Lawrence Lowes - City Lights Lyrics

These city lights don't fill the void, I'm all alone
In Manhattan, tell Mama that I'm coming home
These city lights are not enough to keep me here
In downtown, feeling down how do I beat the fear

'Cause, to be honest, I'm kinda scared of life
I might just jump this plane without a parachute
Like I'm prepared to die
This is my battle cry
And I am numb to pain
By taking care and booze but never satisfied
So what does it take
To break this bottle full of bottled-up hate
Hide my feelings, yeah I tuck them away
And let them talk homie f*ck what they say 'cause

All my life it's just been me myself and I
You see the smile but that's a mask, I'm terrified
The pain, I can not walk it off, I'm paralyzed
If there's a God I'm begging you to shed your light 'cause

These city lights don't fill the void, I'm all alone
In Manhattan, tell Mama that I'm coming home
These city lights are not enough to keep me here
In downtown, feeling down how do I beat the fear

'Cause I'm scared to love
I'm scared to face it
The past is done, we can't erase it
I can't blame Mom or Dad, just face it
The cash don't come, you have to chase it
And that's why I don't really make friends
Try to play me homie
This is where the game ends
Paid my dues, man it's all about the payments
People fake, I don't really wanna shake hands 'cause

All my life it's just been me myself and I
It's just how it is, it doesn't matter why
Lonely in the busy streets of Manhattan
I have no regrets
Grab pen and paper and set it on fire 'cause

These city lights don't fill the void, I'm all alone
In Manhattan, tell Mama that I'm coming home
These city lights are not enough to keep me here
In downtown, feeling down how do I beat the fear
