about

This song wasn't written out of spite. It was written out of truth.

lyrics

So lets stop for a minute or two
Figure out what's holding me back
Is this what I'm supposed to do
Or is it just ghosts of the past?

Goodbye, Oak City
You taught me everything I never wanted to know
Goodbye, Oak City
But I still don't know where I want to go

There's nothing worse
Than waking up to what could have been
But leaving was my only choice
Trying twice is a mistake I won't make again

Goodbye, Oak City
You taught me everything I never wanted to know
Goodbye, Oak City
But I still don't know where I want to go

Supposed to pick me up
But you tore me down

Goodbye, Oak City
You taught me everything I never wanted to know
Goodbye, Oak City
But I still don't know where I want to go

But after all, Oak City
You are still my home
