Small Town Syndrome

I'm hiding here behind these walls I'm dragging out my bravest face You know they say home is where the heart is I wish it wasn't this place 'Cause up until I was sixteen I guess I kinda lost my way No beauty, decorum or grace I know I made a mistake (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I don't wanna face this mess Can I stay here in this bed? This small town syndrome's getting me down I hear them talking, talking so loud And I'm still tryna find a way out of here (ooh-ooh-ooh) And I can't hide my face in the crowd Their eyes, like spotlights, staring me out My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here In this small town I wish I could just run away Catch a ticket on the next train But what would my mother say Her little girl is going insane What's trouble at the sound of despair Did you hear the news yesterday? They're saying he did this and that But why does it matter anyway? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I don't wanna face this mess Can I stay here in this bed? 'Cause this small town syndrome's getting me down I hear them talking, talking so loud And I'm still tryna find a way out of here (ooh-ooh-ooh) And I can't hide my face in the crowd Their eyes, like spotlights, staring me out My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here In this small town Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh This small town syndrome's getting me down I hear them talking, talking so loud And I'm still tryna find a way out of here Oh, and I can't hide my face in the crowd Their eyes, like spotlights, staring me out My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here In this small town (small town) In this small town (small town) In this small town It's hard to find a way out In this small town (small town) Oh, this small town (small town) Oh, this small town Gonna find a way out In this small town
