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

(Chorus)
You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your 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

Now life is sweet, and what it brings
I tried to take
The loneliness it wears me out
It lies in wake
And all I've lost, you're in my eyes
Shatter a necklace across your thighs
I might've lived my life in a dream
But I swear it, this is real
Memories refuses, and it shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
But it's you, it's what I feel

You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your 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

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart

I told you, forever, I love you, forever - continues during
I told you, forever, I love you, forever / last chorus
I told you, forever, I love you, forever
I told you, forever, I love you, forever

You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your 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

Leaving new york never easy
I saw the light fading out
