You can have Manhattan, I know it's for the best
I'll gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstep
And I'll tip toe away so you won't have to say you heard me leave
You can have Manhattan, I know it's what you want
The bustle and the buildings the weather in the fall
And I'll bow out of place to leave you some space for somebody new
You can have Manhattan, cause I can't have you
You can have Manhattan, the one we used to share
The one where we were laughing and drunk on just being there
Hang on to the reverie, could you do that for me?
Cause I'm just too sad to
You can have Manhattan, cause I can't have you
And so it goes one foot after the other till black and white begin to color in
And I know that holding us in place is simply fear of what's already changed
You can have Manhattan, I'll settle for the beach
And sunsets facing westward with sand beneath my feet
I'll wish this away, this missing the days when I was one half of two
And you can have Manhattan cause I can't have you
