[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
