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'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 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 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)
