Manhattan - Sara Bareilles
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 save you some space
For somebody new
You can have Manhattan
Cause I can’t have you

Ahhhhh
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
Til black and white
begin to color in
And I know
That holding us in place
Is simply fear of
what’s already changed
Ahhhhh
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
