Why do I have to be the one to stay in touch?
When you sever every love, I never meant that much to you
And fly away on steeled wings
It doesn't matter where, so long as it's new
The paper said, "One fool wanted
If you slip out in the night you won't be missed"
From Oregon to New York City
If it seems too good to be true, it surely is
Why did you leave?
I can't imagine waking up so far away from where my heart is
It may be the hardest lie to live
Maybe I do know what it's like
At the airport, I kept thinking, "What the f*ck am I here for?"
Crying hard into my hands
All this pain it seems was planned
From the start of time
Another Brooklyn babe
Another queen of Queens
Another city made up of the stuff of dreams?
Why did you leave?
And in the new year
I felt an overwhelming need to move on through here
Drinking beers all by myself
I don't want to with no one else
It ain't a crime
At the world's dark
You're doing the same thing out there in New York
In a way, our hearts are close
But our bodies find new beaus for the harder times
Another Brooklyn babe
Another queen of Queens
Is the city made up of the stuff of dreams?
Why did you leave?
