I always tought it was you, You always tought it was me.
We always tought we were it, seem like a real perfect fit
those Brooklyn Nights set us free.
I always tought even though, we were so young we could grow.
up in the end it'd be us, we take the 'f' or the bus
were Brooklyn Nights set us free.
It's not that I don't wanna love you (Don't wanna love you)
It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death.
When we used to be Brooklyn Nights happy.
I miss our cheap chandeleer, 'member when Dad hung it there?
and we would watch Rocky IV, the one where the russian scored
I loved Brigitte Nielsen's hair.
I'd call you my champion, thought we had already won
and cracked open our last beer falling asleep in your tears
those Brooklyn Nights set us free.
It's not that I don't wanna love you (Don't wanna love you)
It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death.
When we used to be Brooklyn Nights happy.
I found an old pair of keys on my purse that opened the walk up we shared
How did they get there, jerk?
I wanna see you there, I wanna make it work
I didn't brush my hair and my lashes are falling off of seven years
of our bad luck dating.
I want one last night there, a Brooklyn Night affair.
It's not that I don't wanna love you (Don't wanna love you)
It's not that I'm really over it, you know (You know)
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death.
When we used to be Brooklyn Nights happy.
It's not that I don't wanna love you, cause I really tried and
I just wanna hang with the old you for just one Brooklyn Night adieu
Have a drink with your former self, we both won't act like someone else
maybe then we'd both tell the truth for just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
