You asked about the songs we used to sing
Like it's the only thing worth remembering
I gotta say that ain't what comes to mind
For me, its mostly sex and cheap French wine
And wandering in the middle street
Looking for some place to get high
And make each other right
In the city of lights, coated in grime
Running out of time
I wanted so badly to be right
Believe me babe, I done my best, I tried
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I hope it ain't going home without you
I wanted to stay by your side
As long as I could
You said I was no good
Yeah, you made it pretty clear
You didn't want me there
You didn't want me near you
A phone call from a friend far away
Sleeping on the Metro, New Year’s Day
I know it must've been pretty hard to watch
Me rip apart everything I had
If I could take it back I surely would
I guess I misunderstood
You said I was no good
You made it pretty clear
You didn't want me there
You didn't want me near you
