\nLEAVING NEW YORK<\/p>\n
It’s quiet now, and what it brings, is everything
\n Comes calling back, a brilliant night, I’m still awake
\n I looked ahead, I’m sure I saw you there
\n You don’t need me to tell you now that nothing can compare<\/p>\n
You might’ve laughed if I told you
\n You might have hidden your frown
\n You might’ve succeeded in changing me
\n I might’ve been turned around.
\n It’s easier to leave than to be left behind
\n Leaving was never my proud
\n Leaving New York never easy
\n I saw the light fading out<\/p>\n
Now life is sweet, and what it brings
\n I tried to take
\nThe loneliness it wears me out
\nIt lies in wake
\nAnd all I’ve lost, you’re in my eyes
\nShatter a necklace across your thighs
\nI might’ve lived my life in a dream
\nBut i swear it, this is real
\n Memories refuses, and it shatters like glass
\nMercurial future, forget the past
\n But it’s you, it’s what I feel<\/p>\n
You might’ve laughed if I told you
\n You might have hidden your frown
\n You might’ve succeeded in changing me
\n I might’ve been turned around
\n It’s easier to leave than to be left behind
\n Leaving was never my proud
\n Leaving New York never easy
\n I saw the light fading out<\/p>\n
You find it in your heart, it’s pulling me apart
\n You find it in your heart, it’s pulling me apart<\/p>\n
I told you, forever, I love you, forever
\n I told you, forever, I love you, forever
\n I told you, forever, I love you, forever
\n I told you, forever, I love you, forever<\/p>\n
You might’ve laughed if I told you
\n You might have hidden your frown
\n You might’ve succeeded in changing me
\n I might’ve been turned around
\n It’s easier to leave than to be left behind
\n Leaving was never my proud
\n Leaving New York never easy
\n I saw the light fading out<\/p>\n
Leaving New York never easy
\n I saw the light fading out<\/p>\n
