Newton Faulkner
This Town
[Verse 1]
I should know by now, I should see somehow
How to bring her 'round, how to breathe
I don't make a sound, splinters hit the ground
Silence screams so loud as she leaves

[Pre-Chorus]
As the torch light shines through the heavy skies
Autumn waves her hand straight at me
See her world fall down as the trees turn brown
As she drifts away and leaves

[Chorus]
As the lights go down
She won't leave this town with me

[Verse 2]
There's more endless days, heaven slips away
And I still see her face in broken dreams
Words are left too late in our last embrace
Pushed until she breaks just like me

[Chorus]
As the lights go down
She won't leave this town
She won't leave this town with me
[Verse 3]
Things I wish she'd say just to hear something
Left alone to a fate that we don't yet see
Then the moment fades, the sun turns to slate
Nothing stays the same, she will leave

[Chorus]
As the lights go down
She won't leave this town
As the lights go down
She won't leave this town
As the lights go down
She won't leave this town with me
