Chicago - Alexz Johnson

Give him up, let him go

Won’t follow, won’t let him follow

Take a breath, steal away

Let him play these games, play these games

Can’t cry, won’t fight

Not tonight, not turning off these lights

Can’t shout, can’t scream

He’ll think I’m mean, but I can let that be…

Holding on, letting go

Why do we do this?

We don’t know

Stepping out, standing up

Look below, I’m still hanging on though

Swept away, off my feet

Can’t believe how I’ve been floating lately

Sense a new avenue

I know what to do, just gotta' let it take me…

On a plane, I’m leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can’t run

Leaving town, won’t be found here tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done…

Ride a wave, the new rave

Let it loose and now it’s losing me

Caught between, being me

Or a tragedy, tragedy

Riding high, cloud nine

Won’t let me through their gates no more

Found a place to escape

I’m out the door, leaving another girl sore…

Won’t be fine, about time

Need someone to hold back my hands

Let me loose let me fall

They’ll understand, understand

Hurting once, maybe twice

They’ll find you in a ditch somewhere

Spreading wings, little things are

Keeping you away from there…

On a plane, I’m leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can’t run

Leaving town, won’t be found here tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done…

(Shutting you out, shutting you out…)

The damage is done… ha…

(Shutting you out, shutting you out…)

I’m shutting you out

I’m gonna' leave you behind

One step at a time

I’m gonna' do it 'cause I said it so

I’m gonna' make it 'cause I said so…

Shutting you out… yeah…

I’m shutting you out

I’m shutting you out

I’m shutting you out

I’m shutting you out

I’m gonna' shut him…

On a plane, I’m leaving for Chicago

Any place I go, you can’t run

Leaving town, won’t be found here tomorrow

Telling stories, mine has just begun

Taking over, leaving no traces

Only smiling faces in the sun

Starting over, tying up my laces

But the damage is done…

The damage is done, yeah, yeah, yeah…

The damage is done, ha

The damage is done

The damage is done…

Oh… oh, run, run, run, run…

Oh… now… oh… uh, oh…
