There's calm within the silence
Sitting in my New York apartment
There's a beauty in the sadness
But I'm still trying to find it
I wonder if you'll love again
After I tell you the truth
Believe in something better than
Better than me and you
I gave you up for
Up for New York
There's poetry in the margins
Of the book that you've given, to me
To remind of what we used to be
When love was just a seed
In the glory of springtime
March over a glass of wine
When there was just you and I
One city in the distance
I gave you up for
Up for New York
If only distance didn't tear us apart
If that weren't the only reason
If only the hurt didn't tear us apart
If love didn't change with the season
I gave you up for
Up for New York
