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 look ahead, I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me to tell you now That nothing can compare [Chorus] You might've laughed if I told you You might have hidden the frown You might've succeeded in changing me I might've 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 [Verse 2] Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take The loneliness it wears me out It lies in wait And on a loss still in my eyes Shatter a 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've laughed if I told you (It's pulling me apart) You might have hidden the frown (change) You might have succeeded in changing me (It's pulling me apart) I might've 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 [Bridge: Micky Dolenz & Circe Link] 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 it's forever I told you if I love you, I love you forever I told you forever, I love you it's forever I told you if I love you, I love you forever You never Leaving New York never easy (It's pulling me apart) I might've been turned around (change) Leaving New York never easy (It's pulling me apart) I saw the light fading out [Chorus] 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've 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) [Outro] 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)
