I want to devastate you, she says
I want to leave scars so deep that you can't forget
Just who I am
Just who I am
You've always craved a mess
Before you leave you need some regret
'Cause from where I stand
From where I stand
I'm la-la-la-losing everything
All my money and my hopes and my dreams
La-la-la-living in the city
Wants nothing to do with me
As I'm losing everything
I nail myself to the cross
Think of everything I'm doing wrong
Like those nights we spent on Bedford Ave
Drinking all night long
'Til all my cash was gone
She says, "Brooklyn's never been your friend
You're just wasted here waiting for your life to begin
Holding me close like a loose cigarette
That's killing you with every breath, when you're the one..."
La-la-la-losing everything
All my money and my hopes and my dreams
La-la-la-living in the city
Wants nothing to do with me
As I'm losing everything
Ah no, no
I just need a little help, no
I just need some direction
Some direction
Some direction
For me, can you help me?
La-la-la-losing everything
All my money and my hopes and my dreams
La-la-la-living in the city
Wants nothing to do with me
As I'm losing everything
I'm losing everything
(La-la-la-losing everything
All my money and my hopes and my dreams)
I'm losing everything
(La-la-la-losing everything
All my money and my hopes and my dreams)
I'm losing everything
