When I came to the city, I never felt so small
When I looked at the mountains I felt like nothing at all
They said You're going to regret it, you're going to run
You're going to quit before you even start
You're not cut out for the city , It's going to tear you apart
It's going to tear you apart, it's going to tear you apart
It's going to tear you apart, it's going to tear you apart
I got a place close enough to downtown that I can find my way home
They told me to stay away from Hastings but I don't worry about my safety at all
There used to be this weight I couldn't shake, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't rattle it off
And then the further away I got from all the voices giving me doubts
I felt the weight fall away, I think I found a way out
You'll never tear me apart, you'll never tear tear tear me apart
When you're running alone you never catch your breath
It's been so long since I could be myself
When you're running alone you never see what's next
When I'm dead and gone you get to keep what's left
Just don't go breaking my heart
I got a call from my sister. She said, Guess who's back in town
She said This time it feels different. Like this time maybe he'll stick around
I said This runs in the family. There's a reason that I ran this far
You grew up just fine without him. He's only going to break your heart
Don't let it tear you apart. Don't let it tear tear tear you apart
Don't let it tear you apart. Don't let it tear tear tear you apart
It's going to break your heart. It's going to break break break your heart
But don't let it tear you apart. Don't let it tear tear tear you apart
