lyrics

new york doesn't feel like home, but nowhere now will ever feel like home. everywhere i go i see your ghost, and i'm just skin stretched over bone. i let you get to me. now you've slipped away, and i'm this empty love with this numbing weight. you were intoxicating. i'm asphyxiating.

i'm taking long walks in the park alone, and i'm wishing you were here to walk me home. but i've got no home to go to now, just this empty room with its empty view because the skyline's missing - much the way that i am missing you.

i woke up cold this morning; this bed is much too big. mother, if you only knew the mess that i am in. you say 'keep your chin up.' dad says 'keep your head down.' no wonder i'm always lost; i'm staring at the sky or at the ground.

and i'm taking long walks in the park alone, and i'm wishing you were here to walk me home. but i've got no home to go to now, just this empty room with its empty view because the skyline's missing - much the way that i am missing you.

i miss you.
i'm sorry.
why not me?
