Leaving New York

It's quiet now And what it brings Is everything Comes calling back A brilliant night I'm still awake I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me To tell you now That nothing can compare You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden A frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York, never easy I saw the light fading out Now life is sweet And what it brings I tried to take But loneliness It wears me out It lies in wait And I've lost Still in my eyes The shadow of necklace Across your thigh I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear This is real Memory fuses and shatters like glass Mercurial future, forget the past It's you, it's what I feel You might have laughed if I told you it's pulling me apart You might have hidden a frown change You might have succeeded in changing me it's pulling me apart I might have been turned around change It's easier to leave than to be left behind it's pulling me apart Leaving was never my proud change Leaving New York, never easy it's pulling me apart I saw the light fading out You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart You find it in your heart, change I told you, forever I love you, forever I told you, I love you I love you, forever I told you, forever You never, you never You told me forever You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden the frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind it's pulling me apart Leaving was never my proud change Leaving New York never easy it's pulling me apart I saw the life fading out change Leaving New York, never easy it's pulling me apart I saw the light fading out change Leaving New York never easy it's pulling me apart I saw the life fading out change
