Manhattan

You can have Manhattan I know it’s for the best I’ll gather up the avenues And leave them on your doorstep I’ll tip toe away So you won’t have to say You heard me leave You can have Manhattan I know it’s what you want The bustle and the buildings The weather in the fall And I’ll bow out of place To save you some space For somebody new [Bridge] You can have Manhattan Cause I can’t have you You can have Manhattan The one we used to share The one where we were laughing And drunk on just being there Hang on to the reverie Could you do that for me? Cause I’m just too sad to [Bridge] And so it goes One foot after the other Til black and white begin to color in And I know That holding us in place Is simply fear of what’s already changed You can have Manhattan I’ll settle for the beach And sunsets facing westward With sand beneath my feet I’ll wish this away Just missing the days When I was one half of two You can have Manhattan Cause I can’t have you
