New York

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You said it from New York

With a tear in your eye

You said it from a pay phone

I say it was a lie

'Cause you said it with indifference

I heard it that way too

And even the color blind

Know what's black from white, oh right.

And you don't have to shout

I hear you fine

I'm not tryin' to wear you out

But don't expect me to ease you

It seems such an injustice

Given the way we feel

I guess sometimes

It just turns out like that.

All handle each rejection

Kinda tired, rather careless, I find it hard to breathe

And if you don't want to see me cry

Don't ever say goodbye.

I can't pin it on him

Girl, I can't blame you

From the ring on your finger

I guess I always knew

It seems such an injustice

Given the way we feel

I guess sometimes

It just turns out like that.

All handle each rejection

Kinda tired, rather careless, I find it hard to breathe

And if you don't want to se me cry

Don't ever say goodbye.

Don't ever say goodbye.

You said it from New York

With a tear in your eye

You said it from a pay phone

I say it was a lie

'Cause you said it with indifference

And I'm sure I heard it true

And even the color blind

Know about ya.

I am, girl

I'm so scared of bein' alone

In this place so faraway

From what I call home

If you don't want to see me cry

Don't ever say goodbye.

Don't ever say goodbye

Don't ever say, don't ever say

Don't ever say, don't ever say, owe.
