lyrics

put my heart on the table
and i left for awhile
the pain i've been feeling
takes to the city so well
i'm a nighttime monster
who's scared of the dark

built a garden on the rooftop
thought it was a form of self care
flowers and weeds look the same
when they're just seeds
i killed them all anyway
forgot to water me

i still feel the pain
i'm a kid
and it hurts real bad

i looked for signs
that you'd leave so quickly
but darling i found nothing at all
and how do i deserve this pain
that i feel in my heart

i feel heartache so hard
it's always on my mind
but i walk to the beat of my song
i don't waltz in time
i'm a dancer by moonlight
but i tiptoe in day

there's loneliness
held in the weight of my eyes
i just need to know
if i'm doing one thing right
i'll look for the answer
downtown in brooklyn tonight

and i still feel the pain
and i still feel the pain
and i still feel the pain
i'm a kid
and it hurts real bad

i looked for signs
that you'd leave so quickly
but darling i found nothing at all
and how do i deserve this pain
that i feel in my heart
