Leaving New York Lyrics
[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]
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
[Bridge]
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)
[Chorus]
(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)
[Chorus 1]
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)
