I always thought it was you
You always thought it was m e
We always thought we were it
Seemed like a real perfect f it
Those Brooklyn Nights set us f ree!
I always thought even though
We were so young we could grow u p
And in the end it would be us
We would take the F by the B us
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free
Its no t that I don 't wanna love you
Its not that I'm re ally over it You Know You Know
Its ju st that I ca n't watch us bleed to d eath
W hen we used to be
Br ooklyn Nights happy!
I miss that cheap chandelier
'member when dad hung it there
We would watch Rocky 4
The one where the Russian scored
I love Brigitte Nielsens ha ir
I'd cry you're my champio n
But we had already won
And cracked open one last beer
Falling asleep in our te ars
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free!
Its no t that I don 't wanna love you
Its not that I'm re ally over it You Know You Know
Its ju st that I ca n't watch us bleed to d eath
W hen we used to be
Br ooklyn Nights happy!
I found an old pair of keys in my purse
That o pened the lockup we shar ed
How did they get there jerk.?
I wanna see you ther e
I wanna make it work
I didn't brush my hai r
And my lashes are f alling
After 7 years of our bad luck dating
I want one last night the re
A Brooklyn Night affa ir
Its no t that I don 't wanna love you
Its not that I'm re ally over it You Know You Know
Its ju st that I ca n't watch us bleed to d eath
W hen we used to be
Br ooklyn Nights happy!
I ts not that I don't want to love you
'Cause I really tried an d I
Just wanna hang with the old you
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
H ave a drink with your former sel f
We both won't act like someone else.
Maybe then we'd both tell the truth
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
