Lyrics in the middle - Miki Ratsula

Went to New York for the weekend
To find the city lights, could barely see 'em
'Cause when I told you I was going
You held it up against me
Should've known it would be the way it's always been with you
Since I was a kid, no matter what I did

I had to choose, ooh
I'll hurt without trying to
It's heavy on my shoulders but it's all I ever knew
Either way, I'll be fine
'Cause I've been in the middle my whole life
Ah, ah

Drove to L.A., empty highway
Called you on the phone and talked the whole way
And you said, "Sorry that this got messy"
And all you ever wanted was to help me
Yeah, that's the way it's always been with you
Since I was a kid, no matter what I did

I had to choose, ooh
I'll hurt without trying to
It's heavy on my shoulders but it's all I ever knew
Either way (Either way), I'll be fine (I'll be fine)
'Cause I've been in the middle my whole life
Ah, ah
'Cause I've been in the middle my whole life
