I took the high road Burning city in the rear It may seem callous But did it to save us both, my dear Three months to miss me And so I threw away my phone Now you're angry But you would've left well enough alone If you never heard, I found someone new 'Cause you hate to see me happy if it isn't about you But I'm the one who's being cruel? Do you see me in the blur of traffic? Do you tell your new girl I was batshit? Oh, you don't recall how good you had it? You can cry those crocodile tears But you can't drown me out of your Manhattan I know you feel me In every first-date drunken kiss So go ahead and tell your friends The things you swear that you don't miss But you'll still hear me In every song, on every mouth My ghost has quite the habit Of always coming back around When you hear that I've found someone new 'Cause you hate to see me happy if it isn't about you But I'm the one who's being cruel? Do you see me in the blur of traffic? Do you tell your new girl I was batshit? Oh, you don't recall how good you had it? You can cry those crocodile tears But you can't drown me out of your Manhattan Are your friends still asking you about it? Does the memory feel photographic? Oh, I'm sorry, it's not how you planned it? You can cry those crocodile tears But you can't drown me out of your Manhattan
