we knew it couldn’t work i followed her into the hole in my heart and she built a home there right from the start she led me to the city’s edge and i followed right to the end we kept a mutual knowing between growing distance between the coffee dates and stolen glances and restless ways we’d wring out our hands and i knew it couldn’t work i told them about you and it felt good, it felt new, it felt different but i let me get the best of you, and you faded away with all I couldn’t give you our love was as good as dead and we didn’t last anywhere just in new york, in my dreams in the world in my head
in a couple of years time ill ask if you understand and we’ll do it all again knowing we’re done before it ends
