Inwood
Cityscape Love Chronicles: Inwood's Betrayal
Lyrics
I gave you hours on the train
I invested a considerable amount of time traveling by train to be with you.
Just so you could see my face
I made this effort so you could see me in person.
Manhattan left me through the window pane
Reflecting on Manhattan through the train window as I left.
So I could meet you at your place
I did this journey to meet you at your location.
I used to think that you were kinda cute in your business suit
Initially, I found you appealing in your business attire.
But I was wrong I should've known that Mr. Moneybags
I was mistaken; I should have realized your true nature, characterized as Mr. Moneybags.
Would turn out this bad
Despite my initial perception, you turned out to be disappointing.
It took me way too long
The realization of your true self took me a considerable amount of time.
I liked the attention
I enjoyed the attention you gave me.
But in the end, I didn't like you
However, in the end, I did not like you.
Cause you just weren't worth it
Your worthiness did not match the attention you gave me.
After all the little things you didn't do
List of disappointments for the things you failed to do for me.
I can't believe I went all the way to Inwood for you
Expressing disbelief at traveling all the way to Inwood for someone like you.
The journey gave me time to think
The journey allowed me time to contemplate, revealing your lack of forethought.
I guess you didn't think that through
You didn't consider the consequences of your actions.
And can you tell me what it means
Seeking an explanation for your statement about men having it bad too.
When you say men have it bad too
Questioning your perspective on men facing challenges.
Cause I liked the attention
Acknowledging the positive aspect of the attention received.
But in the end, I didn't like you
Ultimately, disliking you due to a disparity between expectation and reality.
Cause you were not as advertised
You did not live up to the qualities you presented.
You tried to cover up with every excuse
Attempting to hide your shortcomings with various excuses.
I can't believe I went all the way to Inwood
Expressing disbelief at making such a journey to Inwood for someone like you.
You owe me $5.50
Stating a specific amount owed, possibly as a symbol of the costs incurred.
Why you gotta live across the city
Questioning the choice of living far away, making the relationship challenging.
You made me take the C
Highlighting the inconvenience of taking a specific train route (C).
Why you gotta live across the city
Reiterating the difficulty of your distant residence.
Pay for my therapy
Suggesting emotional distress and the need for therapy due to the relationship.
Why you gotta live across the city
Again emphasizing the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
I bet that you miss me
Expressing doubt about being missed by the other person.
That's what you get for living across the city
Conveying a sense of retribution or consequences for living far away.
Across the city
Repeating the theme of challenges posed by living across the city.
Across the city
Reiterating the challenges presented by the geographical distance.
Across the city
Once again emphasizing the difficulties of living across the city.
