False Hope lyrics

Is it still okay that I don't know how to be alone?

Would it be okay if I'd just came home tonight?

We stay in the apartment on the upper west side

And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night

Woman downstairs just lost her mind

And I don't care how, I surely don't care why

Why I know false hope

Why I know false hope

A storm hits the city and the lights go out

Before I can prepare

The whole downtown looks dark like no one lives there

We stay in the apartment on the upper west side

And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night

The woman downstairs just lost her mind,

And I don't care how, I surely don't care why

Why I know false hope

Why I know false hope

She'll be alright tomorrow

Neither of us is gonna sleep tonight

We've false hope

I hear you begging through the wall

A dying animal's last call

Is it still okay that I don't know how to be at all?

There's a party uptown but I just don't feel like I belong at all

Do I?

We stay in the apartment on the upper west side

And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night

The woman downstairs just lost her mind,

And I don't care how, I surely don't care why

Why I know false hope

Why I know false hope
