The city in a hundred ways,
It would never let you stay
Remember all the thankless days
And the lousy take home pay?

They loved you
When you thought that no-one could
They loved you
When you said that no-one should

The photographs in black and white
That show you playing close to type
Your eyes against the midday light,
Your eyes when they still had the fight

They loved you
When you thought that no-one could
They loved you
When you said that no-one should

You talk so fast,
to stop yourself from thinking
You move so fast,
so you'll never see you're sinking.

They love you
When you think that no-one can.
They love you
And they'll tell you that they understand.

They love you,
Then they say you're much too,
much too bland.

Spending days on the phone,
While the cold eats your bones.

How in the world do you make it right?
How in the world do you make a life?
