New York

(album: When Did You Get Old? - 2020)

You hate New York, but I love it
You see floor, I look above it
To the high rise and skylines
Dreams are made sometimes
Off Broadway & 3rd
You don't talking when things get broken
So we just keep walking and it
Stays unspoken and I live with the pieces
While you remain speechless, unheard

But if I could go back to the imperfect, then I would
'Cause it's worth the pain
For the times that it was good

Why does it hurt like this?
Why do I feel the knife?
You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love
To l-l-l-l-love you?
Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink?
Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you?
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love
To l-l-l-l-love you?

You don't like people so you avoid them
And precious moments, you destroy them
While I wrote you the verses, you may feel worthless
So I just stop writing

But if I could go back to the imperfect, then I would
'Cause it's worth the pain
For the times that it was good

Why does it hurt like this?
Why do I feel the knife?
You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love
To l-l-l-l-love you?
Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink?
Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you?
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love
To l-l-l-l-love you?

And if I could say what I needed to say
I'd be the first one admitting that I made mistakes
'Cause I make mistakes
And if I could heal all the scars that you hide
I'd take them all, I would mix them with mine
If you would be kind
And l-love me one more time

Why does it hurt like this? (Why does it hurt like this?)
Why do I feel the knife?
You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love (When I put my arms right around you)
To l-l-l-l-love you?
Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink?
Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you?
Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love
To l-l-l-l-love you?
