I should have been there for you
When your world came tumbling down
So alone in this New York crowd
You couldn’t see your way out
I was running away from you
When you needed me most
I knew something wasn’t right
When I didn’t see you around Gray’s bar in town
I should have been there for you
I could have made the space
I could have got there fast
I could have lost the race
The letters stopped
Then the late night drunken calls
The party’s with our friends
We used to have a ball
You shut yourself away
Closed the curtains on the world
Afraid of what they’d say
Our beautiful little girl
You want to learn to fly
And do it on your own
Prove everybody wrong
It’s something you control
If you make the heavens
Above the Empire State
I know you’re waving at me
I could have made the space
