[Verse 1]
I don't think I'll stay the night
'Cause things about you don't seem right
And now I know without a question
They make all the rules

[Verse 2]
Take your pick, you have no options
Pray to God with all your problems
Did you think that he could solve them?
I know he can't

[Chorus]
With our backs all up against the wall
With no escape from the city
I know that things won't change
Do your best to forget me
Do your best to forget me
Do your best

[Verse 3]
Cigarettes they stain my teeth
And my skin burns up from summer heat
I don't think I'll make it through the winter
I know I won't
I know I won't
[Chorus]
With our backs all up against the wall
With no escape from the city
I know that things won't change
Do your best to forget me
Do your best to forget me
Do your best
Do your best to forget me
Do your best

[Bridge]
I hope the cameras break in place
The news reporters blur my face
To save you from the images
You won't see
I swear I've done all I can do
I made you proud, I fought it through
But now it's time for you to go
And you won't see
And you won't see
And you won't see

[Chorus]
With our backs all up against the wall
With no escape from the city
I know that things won't change
Do your best to forget me
Do your best to forget me
Do your best
Do your best to forget me
Do your best
