He cried for her to stay She left with his heart in her hands Drowning it in her tears He slept with his fears heartless he was A savage seeking his next victim Insecure growing up with no father And an addict for a mother Motherless Brooklyn your city lights never sleep Your heart sold for attention to the next buyer Left alone on an island called Coney Summer nights become cold as the heart of winter Creating a cold killer Oh Motherless Brooklyn she hopes you heal But in the meantime she hopes you spend time in hell As you in hell For the pain you caused her Weak men fall victim to their insecurities While blaming it on their passionless passion aggressive nature, leaving prints on past lovers While tucking Their souls under covers Motherless Brooklyn you have not seen your sin A fool to love you are As you fiddle with old scars You are a victim of a perfect crime
