I've changed so much in the past four months
I came back and everything's the same
The people are lovely but they don't seem to live
I'm living in some strange game
The doors are open and the minds are closed
No one speaks out but everyone's opposed
It seems like people always say never
I cannot live here for ever
I don't wanna die in Manchester
I don't wanna die in Manchester
No one thinks too deep
In the city that always sleeps
I don't wanna die in Manchester
I need change to want to live
And here doesn't exist
This poor old town is just waiting to die
I think about all the world that I missed
I'm not taking a big leap
But I'm done with counting sheep
I'm tired of looking at my world
through rose colored wine glasses
I don't wanna die in Manchester
I don't wanna die in Manchester
I love my family
But what is this town is doing to me
I don't know where I want to go
But I don't want to call this place home
