Half the City Lyrics

Hold this poor and lonely heart
It is made of pure steel
And you can't let it cry
At the point of the dream
I populated half the city, child
But I still can't find no love
Somebody has to heal me
Oh, from up above

There ain't no way that I could stay here
I'm breathing, oh I'm breathing
There it goes, a higher that holds me closely, so closely

Though I can't let it die
I just hope I feel
Oh the cities make me cry
But I still can't leave her
The streets are paved with pain
Of further past the law
Please don't let it die
Cause I have to let it go
There ain't no way that I could stay here
I'm breathing, oh I'm breathing
There it goes, a higher that holds me closely, so closely

I know that it's time
For this city of mine
Cause it's crumbled down
And left me lonely, left me lonely
Left me, left me lonely
All you got to do, uh
I know, I know this city's waiting for me
