You know I was
Mesmerised by all your white lies
That's how it goes, crossed my heart on our final goodbye
You tied me down when I needed to fly
I hope you know, you'll forever be my virtue my vice
I remember you, dancing under city lights
We saw September through, but the timing wasn't right
God we tried, still we lost our fight
I will dream of you, as the city sleeps tonigh
As the city sleeps tonigh
You know I was, falling for all the things that you said
That's how it goes, I never thought you'd be something I'd regret
You tied me down when I needed to fly
I hope you know, you'll always be my virtue my vice
I remember you, dancing under city lights
We saw September through, but the timing wasn't right
God we tried, still we lost our fight
I will dream of you, as the city sleeps tonigh
