[Verse 1]
I’m blown away how you can play the innocent
You burned it all down
Why do I stay to catch a glimpse of what we know
Will never be found?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, did you ever love me like you say?
Did you ever go and try and make my heart your home?
Hey, did you ever love me like you say?
'Cause I’m tired of praying for useless miracles
[Chorus]
Meet me on the west side
Up here on the high line
Got a couple words worth saying
Talked it out in my head
But all my thoughts are faded
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
[Post-Chorus]
Meet me on the west side
Up here on the high line
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
[Verse 2]

Look how we changed, not the reflection that I know

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, did you ever love me like you say?
Did you ever go and try and make my heart your home?
Hey, did you ever love me like you say?
'Cause I’m tired of praying for useless miracles
[Chorus]
Meet me on the west side
Up here on the high line
Got a couple words worth saying
Talked it out in my head
But all my thoughts are faded
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
[Post-Chorus]
Meet me on the west side
Up here on the high line
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
[Bridge]
You keep me holding on to hope
I know it’s dumb
[Chorus]
Meet me on the west side
Up here on the high line
Got a couple words worth saying
Talked it out in my head
But all my thoughts are faded
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on
