There are times you thought you knew that you were onto me
There are times I knew I made you fall apart
And after all the Bad I had, you grew to love in me
I was only there to break your heart
What's the deal with New York City?
Can't I make you happy where you are?
I know from here the lights look pretty
Do you have to run away from me so far?
To forget about you now would take me way too long
But at the bottom of this bottle is where I'll start
Now I don't spread my heart too thin
But these Apartment walls they're caving in
And I'm tryin to find a way back to the start
What's the deal with new York city?
Can't I make you happy where you are?
I know from here the lights look pretty.
But Did you have to run away from me so far?
Words can't save the mess I'm in
And I'm faking all my confidence
The grass is never greener when you're gone
And now I found a scar that I can stitch
In the beds of girls I'm sleeping with, but I don't think about them when they're gone
So what's the news in New York City?
Are the stars a little brighter where you are?
