[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Mm
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah
[Verse 1]
So many cities
So many bodies who will never call me back
(Can you hear me?)
Felt so immortal
But now I just can't seem to get the feeling back
Running out of time
Never can decide
If what's in front of me is better than the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
Wear my smile tonight
Put on something tight
Centre of attention
But I can't survive in
[Chorus]
An empty room
It'll be, it'll be, it'll be empty soon
And I'll be back, back in New York City
Where it began
Heartbroken in a hotel with nobody
[Post-Chorus]
Just an empty room
It'll be, it'll be, it'll be empty soon
And I'll be back, back in New York City
Where it began
Heartbroken in a hotel with nobody
Mm (In a hotel room, nobody)
[Verse 2]
I stay up all night hoping for a pick-me-up
No matter how close I get, it's never close enough
Manhattan's not the best place if you're this sensitive
Learning to talk myself up, but don't believe a word
I don't wanna get used to the silence, ah
'Cause nothing compares to the centre of attention
How can I survive in
[Chorus]
An empty room?
It'll be, it'll be, it'll be empty soon
And I'll be back, back in New York City
Where it began
Heartbroken in a hotel with nobody
[Post-Chorus]
Just an empty room
It'll be, it'll be, it'll be empty soon
And I'll be back, back in New York City
Where it began
Heartbroken in a hotel with nobody-body
[Outro]
In a hotel with nobody-body (Ah, yeah)
(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Back in New York City)
(Ah, ah-ah; mm, yeah)
