New York Hills lyrics

(You kissed me high on New York hills) 'Cause love up here's a glass château All crystal smiles and vertigo One stupid slip, one crack below And suddenly you're free to go I learned young that hearts like mine Get measured on a thinner line One wrong word and I'm defined As every flaw they left behind Tried to be the kind you hold Oh, I tried, tried, tried On these New York hills, love's a dangerous height One misstep and you're falling through the city lights And every forever feels counterfeit Like I'm one bad night from becoming your worst Yeah, I'm smiling still, but it's a goddamn skill Acting like I don't fear the drop, but I always will Because up on these hills If I fuck this thrill Then maybe I was never worthy of love that's real You say my name like it's sacred art Like I'm not chaos wrapped in charm But I know how fast devotion starts Then turns a knife inside your arms I've seen I love you weaponized Turned to ash in pretty lies So every kiss becomes a test Of whether I deserve the best If I'm flawless, maybe this time You won't leave me there behind On these New York hills, love's a dangerous height One misstep and you're falling through the city lights And every forever feels counterfeit Like I'm one bad night from becoming your worst Yeah, I'm smiling still, but it's a goddamn skill Acting like I don't fear the drop, but I always will Because up on these hills If I fuck this thrill Then maybe I was never worthy of love that's real And the skyline looks like heaven from afar But heaven's just a view when you don't know who you are I built my worth on whether lovers stayed Like every broken promise was a debt I had to pay And I'm so damn tired of performing for the prize Of begging to be chosen while I'm bleeding in disguise If love is only mine when I am perfectly fulfilled Then burn these golden towers I don't want New York hills (You kissed me high on New York hills)
