Lyrics
To love you still, and have you not
Will destroy me in time
So I'm goin' away, where nobody knows me
And get you off my mind

I've packed my things a dozen times
But unpack is all I do
Yes I'm still in town, I'm still around
And still in love with you

I made it to the edge of town
But turned around
I made it to the bridge downtown
But my nerve let me down

I try to go, but how can I leave
When all roads lead back to you
Yes, I'm still in town, still around
And still in love with you

I made it to the edge of town
But turned around
I made it to the bridge downtown
But my nerve let me down

I try to go, but how can I leave
When all roads lead to you
Yes, I'm still in town, still around
Still in love with you
