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 way

And all not 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)
