Lyrics Half the City - St. Paul & The Broken Bones

This poor lonely heart, it's made of pure steel
And you can't let it cry at the poor end of street
I've populated half the city child
But I still can't find no love
Somebody has to heal me from up above

There ain't no way that I could stay here breathing
There it goes, her arms that hold me closely, so closely

I can't let it down, this hope I feel
Oh this city has made me cry but I still can't leave her
The streets paved with pain of all my past loves
Please don't let it die cause I have had enough

There ain't no way that I could stay here breathing
There it goes, her arms that hold me closely, so closely

I know that it's time
For this city of mine
To just crumble down and let me hold it, just let me hold it

All you got to let me do
I know, I know this city made for me
