Gothenburg Nearly Killed Me Video (MV)

Who knew that just a city
Could take so much from me?
Rob me blind of the years I set aside
An atom bomb just disguised as petty crime
I know I'm not to blame
Still I struggle to shake the shame
My whole life torn down in a blinking eye
How will I ever rebuild?
I've been a human doing
Not a human being
Forgot the reasons that we're living
Had to lose it
All to learn my lesson
Might've had my world pulled out from under me
Might've spent my last two weeks in disbelief
Been lying face down
But now I'm on my feet
'Cause when the waves crash
Just gotta grit my teeth
And trust the ground that's under me
Gotta take it step by step, get through the grief
I was so beat down
But now it's history
I'm leaving this town
'Cause it nearly killed me
Sightless to what was gone
I focused on the material
Said we would fly, but instead I pushed you aside
A lifeline that I severed time after time
Too caught up in my shit
To see past the walls I built
Told myself it was fine, I apologise
For taking you for granted
I've been a human doing
Not a human being
Forgot the reasons that we're living
Had to lose it
All to learn my lesson
Might've had my world pulled out from under me
Might've spent my last two weeks in disbelief
Been lying face down
But now I'm on my feet
'Cause when the waves crash
Just gotta grit my teeth
And trust the ground that's under me
Gotta take it step by step, get through the grief
I was so beat down
But now it's history
I'm leaving this town
'Cause it nearly killed me
And now I'm facing my fears at the gates of hell
They'll only find me when I can't find myself
I crashed so hard from the fall
I had my head in the clouds
Head in the clouds
Thought I'd figured it out
Figured it out
But the city was just a mirage
A compass leading me wrong
Leading me wrong
But now I'm on my way home
On my way home
I've been a human doing
Not a human being
Caught in a loop of just surviving
Had to burn it
All to learn my lesson
Might've had my world pulled out from under me
Might've spent my last two weeks in disbelief
Been lying face down
But now I'm on my feet
'Cause when the waves crash
Just gotta grit my teeth
And trust the ground that's under me
Gotta take it step by step, get through the grief
I was so beat down
But now it's history
I'm leaving this town
'Cause it nearly killed me
I was so beat down
But now it's history
I'm leaving this town
'Cause it nearly killed me
