Leaving New York

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Chorus 1] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] [Chorus 1]
