Manhattan -Sara Bareilles

You can have Manhattan
I know itβs for the best
Iβll gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstep
And Iβll tip toe away, so you wonβt have to say
You heard me leave
You can have Manhattan
I know itβs what you want
The bustle and the buildings
The weather in the fall
And Iβll bow out of place
To save you some space
For somebody new
You can have Manhattan
'Cause I canβt have you
Aah, aah, aah
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 Iβm just too sad to
You can have Manhattan
'Cause I canβt 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 whatβs already changed
Aah, aah, ah
You can have Manhattan I'll settle for the beach And sunsets facing westward with sand beneath my feet I'll wish this away Just missing the days when I was one half of two You can have Manhattan 'Cause I can't have you
