If you were here I'd only bleed you
And if that's not enough
Don't go back to Rockville
It's not as though I really need you
Going where nobody says hello
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Sit around at night all by yourself
They don't talk to anybody they don't know
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
Though it might sound strange but I believe
I don't care that you're not here with me
Oh, I know it might sound strange but I believe
Don't go back to Rockville
So don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Going to a place that's far, so far away
But something better happen soon
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down
Don't go back to Rockville
Walk home to an empty house
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
And waste another year
Don't go back to Rockville
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
And that's not how it ought to be
Or it's gonna be too late to bring me back
All my problems if I'm too far out to see
You'll wind up in some factory
That's full time filth with nowhere left to go
You'll be coming back before too long
You'll be coming back before too long
