Lyrics
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.
I don't mean to sound satirical but I
Wish you believed in miracles
You always think I'm wrong
But I'd give it up to get along
With you again
I'd be a fool to stay with you
'Cause I need to breathe, I said
I don't know what to do without your love
I can't believe that you're so far away now
I don't understand a single thing about you, don't you wanna dance with me?
It's time to take a stand and stop playing pretend that everything's okay with me
I don't wanna go to New York
I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna go to New York today
I don't want to sound predictable
But I think you've acted despicable
The way you broke my heart
I don't know how I'd ever start with you again
I'd be a fool to stay with you
'Cause I need to breathe, I said
I don't know what to do about your love
I can't believe that you're so far away now
I don't understand a single thing about you, don't you wanna dance with me?
It's time to take a stand and stop playing pretend that everything's okay with me
I don't wanna go to New York
I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna go to New York today
A perfect boy, a perfect girl together in a perfect world
A fantasy, another dream we couldn't make reality
I don't understand a single thing about you, don't you wanna dance with me?
It's time to take a stand and stop playing pretend that everything's okay with me
I don't wanna go to New York
I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna go to New York
I don't wanna go to New York
I don't wanna go to New York today
