Balcony

I remember when you left the house
You turned your shoulder and said, "I'm goin' out"
But I knew better then, I felt a sliver of doubt
I'll ever see her again, my heart is racing now

She told me that she'd never wanna leave
But when she left me I found everything I'd ever need
I hope you're lookin' off the balcony
Thinkin' 'bout the city, every time you think of me

And you might feel bad
Little late for that
I don't need any sympathy
And now I can relax
Nothin' to take back
Movin' on to a better me

Big hearts still break clean
I wanted better, so I let her
Rip me open for the hell of it
Empty since eighteen
So when she cut me, I got lucky
Couldn't muster up enough to bleed

I remember when you were around
We used to argue and say "you let me down"
And I knew better when I heard you callin' me out
I couldn't keep this shit in, I guess I'm screaming now

She told me that she'd never wanna leave
But when she left me I found everything I'd ever need
I hope you're lookin' off the balcony
Thinkin' 'bout the city, every time you think of me
She said she needs someone that I can't be
So when she left me, I was ready for the apathy
I hope you're lookin' off the balcony
Thinkin' 'bout the city, every time you think of me

And I tried to let go, but I'm still standing here
And I need you to know
That I gave it my all, spread my ashes to toast
When I'm ready to go

She told me that she'd never wanna leave
(She told me that she'd never wanna leave)
I hope you're lookin' off the balcony (and I hope you're lookin' out)
