"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.
But 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 your self 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 thought of leaving me and this town behind.
But 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,
but if you're leaving then I'll have to beg you not to.
This town is where you stole my heart.
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.
This town is gonna tear us apart [x3]
