why i hate it here (dyed red 2011)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember when the sidewalk ends Caught a shiner and a bloody lip You know I try to be an optimist But it's bringing me down Bringing me down When all I had was love to give This city never gave a shit Tell me, why did I put up with it? Bringing me down, bringing me down [Pre-Chorus] The broken pieces of my heart are scattered 'round this town Add them to a list of reasons I don't come around [Chorus] All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paived with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here [Verse 2] The air out here is poisonous With all the preachers and the politics Turning lovers into hypocrites Bringing me down Bringing me down (Down) [Pre-Chorus] Every crowded room I'm in I see your face somehow (I see you) Add them to a list of reasons I don't come around [Chorus] All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paived with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here [Refrain] Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here You know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here [Chorus] All the walls are stained with memories I tried, I can't erase Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here All the streets are paived with jealousy I tried but can't escape Even if I burned it down, I fear I'd find another reason why I hate it here [Outro] Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here You know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it Oh, you know I hate it here
