Lyrics
This city won't let me forget you lately
Feeling unable to forget someone in this city recently
Seems like every road I take is taken by you
Every path I choose reminds me of you
This whole town echos your name, it drives me crazy
The entire town resonates with your name, causing frustration
I wish it would leave me 'lone just like you do
Desiring solitude similar to what you give me
'Cuz our memories edge the borders
Our shared memories surround the boundaries of this place
And your found in every corner
Your presence is evident in every nook and cranny
There's a trace of you on every single street
Traces of you are found on every street
You ruined all my favorite places
You've affected all the places I cherished
I see you in every face and
I see reflections of you in everyone's face
I can't take it
Overwhelmed by these emotions
I just can't take it
Unable to cope with the intensity of feelings
Missouri, put me out my misery
Asking to be freed from the misery caused by Missouri
Let me move on
Requesting the ability to move forward
Oh it's been so long
Longing for release, it's been a considerable time
I just wanna leave
Desire to leave this haunting environment
I'm haunted by our history
Troubled by the memories of our past together
Face it, head on
Encouraging self-confrontation with the past
But I just wanna run
Yet, the impulse is to escape from it all
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
Questioning why Missouri feels antagonistic
I can find some peace of mind when I cross state lines
Hopeful for tranquility beyond state borders
Seems I'm always looking out for an escape
Always seeking a way out, avoiding return
'Cuz when I go back
Being pulled back upon returning to Missouri
I'm taken back
Recalling how you had control over me
To the way you have me in your grasp
The grip of your influence and past actions
And the things you said, can't take them back
The irreversible impact of hurtful words spoken
If I move away, will you lift your trap?
Contemplating if distance would break this hold
Missouri, put me out my misery
Reiterating the plea to escape misery in Missouri
Let me move on
Yearning for the chance to move forward
Oh it's been so long
Long duration enduring these sentiments
I just wanna leave
An earnest desire to depart from this situation
I'm haunted by our history
Haunted by the shared past and experiences
Face it, head on
Advocating for facing these haunting memories
But I just wanna run
Despite the confrontation, the impulse is to escape
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
Questioning the hostility from Missouri's side
'Cuz I can't shake the thought of
The inability to shake off thoughts of shared moments
When we sat down by the water
Remembering a specific moment by the water
And you told me that you loved me
A memory of declarations of love during summer
In the middle of the summer
A vivid recollection of an intimate moment
You said
Recalling your expressions about unique feelings
You've never felt like this before
Your assertion of an unparalleled emotional connection
And I believed you
Believing in the sincerity of those emotions expressed
And I still do
Continuing to hold onto that belief
But I wish you'd loved me more
Desiring a deeper level of affection from you
Missouri, put me out my misery
Repeating the plea to be released from Missouri's hold
Let me move on
Seeking liberation to progress
It's been so long
Emphasizing the prolonged duration of this struggle
I just wanna leave
Yearning to escape from this haunting presence
I'm haunted by our history
Continuously troubled by our shared past
Face it, head on
Encouraging direct confrontation with these memories
But I just wanna run
Despite this, the inclination remains to flee
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
Questioning the reasons behind Missouri's animosity
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
Repeating the query about Missouri's hostility
I would've waited forever and more
Expressing willingness to wait indefinitely for a certain future together
If it meant we'd be together for sure
Desire for a lasting and guaranteed union
