Oh, this poor and lonely heart
It is made of pure steel
And you can't let it cry
At the poor end of street

I populated half the city, child
But I still can't find no love
Somebody has to heal me
From up above

There ain't no way that I could stay
Here breathing, oh breathing
There it goes, her arms that hold me closely
So closely

Though I can't let it die
This hope I feel
Oh the city's made me cry
But I still can't leave her

The streets are paved with pain
Of all my past loves
Please don’t let it die
Cause I have had enough

There ain't no way that I could stay here
Breathing, oh breathing
There it goes, her arms that hold me closely
So closely
I know that it's time
For this city of mine
To just crumble down
And let me hold it
Let me hold it
Let me let me hold it
All you got to do
I know, I know this city's made for me
