Manhattan Lyrics - The Blessed Unrest - 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 

Photos 

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
