Toronto by Taylor Janzen Lyrics

You stretch yourself across the continent
Make a mess in every place
Well, I know you still live in Toronto
When you don’t learn from any of your mistakes

I know everybody can see
Your family tree is so much brighter without me
All you ever say is it’s such a damn shame
We are not just strangers who share a last name

Locked doors and screaming can never leave me
I can’t outrun it, even if I tried
And now we’re on year four and I still have your
Answering machine memorized

I know everybody can see
Your family tree is so much brighter without me
All you ever say is it’s such a damn shame
We are not just strangers who share a last name

I used to carry so much weight
I broke my back just trying to stand
Back then, I couldn’t even speak
Without my mouth covered by your hand
And now I talk all that I want, it’s alright
My thoughts can fill this city and I no longer mind
I can find the comfort in silent sunrise
I no longer shrink back when I see the light
