It was great till it wasn't
Summer nights on the Chelsea High Line
I pretend like it doesn't
But it hurts from the cuts of your knife
Now I can't even walk by the corner store
Where we stumbled every weekend back to your front door
Watching all our favorite shows I can't watch no more, because of you

It's the first place I ever loved right down to the last night
And it's the last place I'll ever fall in love for the first time

Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
There's nothing left but the ruins of us in the streets
The bar where I met you, apartment I left you
Taste of the truth, it changed every view that I see
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me

So I moved out to LA
As far away from you as I could
Using sunshine for Band-Aids
Thinking Fifth Ave is gone for good
But nothing can replace memories in my head
And those karaoke songs I can't sing again
And now I don't even talk to our same old friends, because of you

It's the first place I ever loved right down to the last night
And it's the last place I'll ever fall in love for the first time

Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
There's nothing left but the ruins of us in the streets
The bar where I met you, apartment I left you
Taste of the truth, it changed every view that I see
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Sometimes I go back to the places we went
I'm with somebody else tryin' to make new memories again
Tryin' to take back everything it meant
Tryin' to take back everything

Fuck you for ruining New York City for me
There's nothing left but the ruins of us in the streets
The bar where I met you, apartment I left you
Taste of the truth, it changed every view that I see
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
