Carol Ades - Sadtown USA Lyrics

I confused a moment with forever
Another dreamed up future bites the dust
Nothing I can do except surrender
I've been crying for an hour
But an hour ain't enough

I know when the pain is all gone
I can do what I want
I can do what I want to
I hate that I gotta move on
But I can't until I want to

Cause I'm stuck a thousand miles away
In Sadtown USA
The feeling's here to stay
And nothing's getting better

And no one stays forever but
I'm staying for today
In Sadtown USA
Where nothing's getting better

All the voices in my head are critics
They talk so much that I can't hear my own
Stupidly I thought this would be different
But I run my fingers on the map
And there's nowhere else to go and I know

I know when the pain is all gone
I can do what I want
I can do what I want to
I hate that I gotta move on
But I can't until I want to

Oh I'm stuck a thousand miles away
In Sadtown USA
The feeling's here to stay
And nothing's getting better

And no one stays forever but
I'm staying for today
In Sadtown USA
Where nothing's getting better

Where the sky is always grey
And the coffees always cold
No leaves on the trees
And the bars are always closed
I think I hate it here

Where the bus is always late
And the sweaters always itch
And your heart hurts bad
And the mayor is a bitch, oh
I think I'm staying here

I think I'm staying here
I think I'm staying here
