Leaving New York lyrics

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 your 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 all not lost, still in my eye

Shadow of necklace across your thigh

I might have lived my life in a dream, but I swear it, this is real

Memory fuses and shatters like glass

Mercurial future, forget the past

But 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 your 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 (Find it in your heart)

I love you forever (It's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (Find it in your heart)

I love you forever (Change)

I told you forever (Find it in your heart)

I love you forever (It's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (Find it in your heart)

I love you forever (Change)

(You never, you never told me forever)

You might have laughed if I told you (It's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden your 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 (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 light fading out (Change)
