Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion]
You said you love the night
So I went in the sky
And turned off all the lights
I lassoed every star
You said you love the ocean
So I went out and dove in
Put it all out in the open
Gave up my own wild heart
[Pre-Chorus: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion]
I conquered the world and then some
Captured the golden crown
Still I heard you found
[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion]
I heard you found
A young gun from another town and they're
Everything I couldn't be
I heard you're down with a
Young gun from another town and it's
Killin' me softly to see
Do you ever think of me?
How could I compete with a
A young gun from anothеr town?
[Verse 2: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion]
Soul began to break
From undernеath the weight
Been tryna keep the pace
But that road went on and on
I coulda tried to run
But to stay forever young
Is a war that's never won
And time is just way too strong
[Pre-Chorus: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion, Jon Bellion]
Oh, what a tragic ending, mm
Oh, what a hurtful sound
When I heard you found
[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Jon Bellion]
I heard you found
A young gun from another town and they're
Everything I couldn't be
I heard you're down with a
Young gun from another town and it's
Killin' me softly to see
And do you ever think of me?
How could I compete with a
A young gun from another town?
