New York City can be so pretty From a bird's eye view Because up there, yeah, that's where I first kissed you A modern day romance A perfect performance Acting like two fools Saying silly things Whisper sweet nothings Like young lovers only do I was shaking, you were breathtaking Like the Empire State My voice was so far, not quite Sinatra Singing songs so great The clock struck one The night still very young In the city that never sleeps Then a whirlwind blew When I first kissed you Nearly swept me, swept me off my feet When I first kissed you That's when I knew, oh I was in love Because up there Yeah, that's where I first kissed you

29, that's when you're supposed to find yourself Start drinking whiskey from a higher shelf Stop calling your mom for help 29, you start paying mortgage instead of rent Should be picking out a picket fence Instead of wondering where it went and wondering why But for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down 29, by now I thought I'd have it figured out But I've never felt as lost as I do now And everybody says, "You're only 29" But I feel like I'm running out of time If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine? 'Cause for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down Seems like everybody else is hanging on to it But I swear to God, I've barely made my way through it Oh 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Hey, let's just call it what it was Now I'm never gonna live it down

Your phone is glowing, you say it's no one It's funny no one calls me this late You tell me I'm crazy, yeah, I know But I gotta see how far you're gonna go The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the eye ability Your lie ability, yeah I'll give you credit, you really sell it The way you tell it, just sounds so good The poison's in the apple, the snake is in the grass The truth about a lie is that it ain't ever made to last The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, the way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, it's killing me Your lie ability, yeah

Cigarettes in the ashtray Sitting on the porch Two empty bottles of Cabernet From the night before A couple of texts I wish I hadn't sent But at the time Had a good buzz, and it felt innocent Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Little black dress in the bathroom From last Friday night Thought I was ready, it was too soon God, I wasn't right Mascara stains on pillowcases Can't stop my mind From going back to broken places Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Everything's gonna be fine Everybody ain't okay sometimes You're fine 'til you're falling apart Over it, back to the start It ain't on your mind 'til you're replaying every memory Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Moving on is messy (everybody ain't okay sometimes) Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Oh, it's messy
