Manhattan Skyline [Single Edit]

[Verse 1]

We sit and watch umbrellas fly

I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry

I hear myself say, "My boat's leaving now"

So we shake hands and cry

Now I must wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

[Chorus 1]

You know

I don't want to cry again

I don't want to cry again

I don't want to say goodbye

I don't want to cry again

I don't want to run away

I don't want to raise this pain

I'll never see your face again

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, but how

How can you say that I didn't try?

You...

[Verse 2]

I leave to their goodbyes

I've come to depend on the look in their eyes

My blood's sweet for pain

The wind and the rain brings back words of a song

And they say: wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

[Chorus 2]

You know

I don't want to fall again

I don't want to know this pain

I don't want another friend

I don't want to try again

I never want to see you hurt

Don't let me see you hurt

I don't want to cry again

I'll never see your face again

[Post-Chorus]

How can you say that I didn't try?

You know I did

I don't want to cry again

[Outro]

So I read to myself

A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
