While You Were Out Lyrics

While you were out I read those letters that you wrote to yourself about how you hate this town, and how you'd kill to get out. Don't start thinking that i'm thinking 'bout leaving 'cause I wouldn't know how.

There's a voice in the back of my head that says keep your heart this time, keep yourself in line.
There's a voice in the back of my head that I cannot control.
In fact I'm rather slighted by the fact that you're delighted by the thought of leaving me and this town behind.
I know you would never leave.
I know you would never leave.

I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let you go.

If you're leaving then I guess that I can't stop you.
If you're leaving then I have to beg you not to.
This town is where you stole my heart.
Well this town is gonna tear us apart.

I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let this go. Would you let this go? I didn't think so.
I can't let this go. I won't let you go.

If you're leaving then I guess that I can't stop you.
But if you're leaving then I have to beg you not to.
This town is where you stole my heart.
Well this town is gonna tear us apart.

If you're leaving then I guess that I can't stop you.
But if you're leaving then I have to beg you not to.
This town is where you stole my heart.
Well this town is gonna tear us apart.

And if you're leaving then I guess that I can't stop you.
But if you're leaving then I have to beg you not to.
This town is where you stole my heart.
This town is gonna tear us apart.
