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
