[Verse 1]
Never thought I'd be alone in this city
I guess you couldn't earn my love, what a pity
Strolling through Times Square scoffing at the couples
I don't remember why I thought this was worth the trouble
I got a lot of friends but when they're gone I think of you
Wish I could replace you but I'm unavailable
I'm happier without you but I wish that it had worked
Like a good job, you came with a lot of perks
Hanging out in Brooklyn, eat on Metropolitan
Haven't been single since late 2010
Now I'm working hard to see the Sunnyside of things
It's hard to want the honey when you're healing from the sting
My job gets me free admission to the Bronx Zoo
It's bittersweet, I get a second ticket too, what should I do?
I go alone and maybe even make a friend or two
Get serious with one of them, in twelve months, Déjà vu
[Verse 2]
Never thought I'd be alone in this city
Instead of earning your love, I earned your pity
Carousing through Columbus Circle watching all the couple
Now I remember why I thought this was worth the trouble
I don't have many friends but when they're gone, I think of you
Wishing you were here, but you're unavailable
I'm miserable without you and I wish that it had worked
You're my favorite memory, I wish it didn't hurt
Hanging out in Brooklyn, eat on Bedford Avenue
Blame myself for the things that happened but I'm mad at you
Now I'm staring hard into the Woodside, trying to make sense of it
Me without you is like comedy with censorship
Doesn't make any sense, how could it end up like this?
I guess I finally met the woman with the upper fist
Forget relationships, signed up for therapy in a moment of clarity
I need to take care of me
