the song has zero to do with New York, A New York minute is another connotation for a shot time.(a short time can't last forever) basically he gets dumped and he thinks its just a temporary thing, he thinks its a New York Minute breakup. As the song goes on he seems more accepting of it, "you got the best but you gotta beleive" becomes "got the best but i gotta beleive".
