I thought you'd wait a million years just to hold my hand
So unaware of all the flames that you had fanned
I know you thought a thousand times "he doesn't care"
But now i find that I'm the one thinking "love's not fair"
Cuz I'm alone and you've found another
And those flames, well, now they're smothered
I love so far from New York City
But I don't want your pity, no
You know I've always lived my life from day to day
But now you've seen I'll give it up anyway
Cuz I'm alone and you've found another
And those flames, well, now they're smothered
I love so far from New York City
And I don't want your pity now
I know there's no excuses for the way I've been
But I'm still learning what love's like between two men
And now I wish I could go back and start again
But wishful thinking's all I've got in the end
Cuz I'm alone and you've found another
And those flames, well, now they're smothered
You live so far from San Francisco
Sounds like a silly disco song
