Chicago lyrics

(It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done...)

(It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done...)

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.

(It's done, it's done, it's done, it's 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.

I found a place to escape,

I'm out the door.

(Leaving another girl sore...)

I won't be fine, about time,

I 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.

But the damage is done.

But the damage is done.

But the damage is done.

I'm shutting you out.

I'm gonna leave you behind.

One step at a time.

I'm gonna do it 'cause I said so.

I'm shutting you out.

I'm gonna leave you behind.

One step at a time.

I'm gonna do it 'cause I said so.

But the damage is done.

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.

But the damage is done.

But the damage is done.

But the damage is done.

But the damage is done.
