Sadness Is a Sickness

I want to feel something that isn't romantic
I want words to say that don't romanticize New York City
But the sunsets there take my breath away
A decade down I love them more every day

I'm all alone remembering
What a warm body felt like in bed
In the morning
Giving head
Trembling and wet

Brooklyn transplant
Manhattans where my heart's at
Love the one you're with until you're dead
Sadness is a sickness
That can be cured with prescriptions
I think I'm better off alone
Than in a heartbreak highway prison

I want to be kissed and not start to panic
I don't want to run away or turn my mind to pornography
But a woman already got the best of me
And she got the worst of me too, eventually

I'm all alone remembering
What a warm body felt like in bed
In the morning
Giving head
Trembling and wet

Brooklyn transplant
Manhattan's where my heart's at
Love the one you're with until you're dead
Sadness is a sickness
That can be cured with prescriptions
I'm better off alone
Than in a heartbreak highway prison

Maybe if I fell in love
I could find other stories to tell
But when I think about falling in love
I don't wanna be under its spell
It's something I've already done
It shook me up down to my core
It's why I keep falling apart
It's something I don't wanna do anymore

Brooklyn transplant
Manhattan's where my heart's at
Love the one you're with until you're dead
Sadness is a sickness
That can be cured with prescriptions
I think I'm better off alone
Than in a heartbreak highway prison

Sadness is a sickness
That can be cured with prescriptions
