Jana Pochop - Middle of My Chest Lyrics

I am scared of the friends I've been making lately
We've been tearin' up the town and the neighbors hate me
We've been rolling around rolling around in these streets and in our beds
Keep your enemies close and make them lovers instead

I am trying not to be so damn Midwestern
But I keep it all inside and it tends to fester
I keep shoving it down shoving it down like it tastes good to me
But when it comes back up, it comes up mean

I gotta get out of town for my safety
I think the middle of my chest is betraying me
I need a change and change needs a fight
Where is the heart so I can stick the knife

I am tired of the dues I've been paying on time
They never pay out and it's bitter on the bottom line
But I keep carrying on carrying on like all I see are stars
But when your dreams dry up they turn into scars

I gotta get out of town for my safety
I think the middle of my chest is betraying me
I need a change and change needs a fight
Where is the heart so I can stick the knife

I've got people I could love but the fear that I'll get it wrong
Keeps coursing through my veins like a ticking time bomb
I keep shutting them down and shutting them out before my heart comes clean
But when my heart wells up it comes out a scream

I gotta get out of town before it breaks me
I think the middle of my chest is betraying me
I need a change and change needs a fight
Where is the heart so I can stick the knife

I gotta get out of town before it breaks me
I think the middle of my chest is betraying me
I need a change and change needs a fight
Where is the heart so I can stick the knife
