"This city's going to break my heart"

That's what I thought the first time I found myself in you

you had a special colour within you

dusk, sunset, midnight

It didn't matter, it was true

your streets seemed to know my name

and your whispers led me through alleys I'd never seen

They felt familiar, like a long-ghost dream

did we cross paths in another lifetime?

Before I knew it, I was falling

but falling didn't scare me that time

I felt into a sense of belonging

a home I was hoping

Still, I kept thinking

"This city is going to break my heart"

and maybe you have,

in a thousand small ways,

with every goodbye I never wanted to say
