It's quiet (1)___
And what it (2)______

Comes (4)_______ back
A brilliant (5)_____
I'm still awake

I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me

That nothing can compare

You might have (7)_______ if I told you
You might have hidden the (8)_____
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been (9)______ around

It's easier to leave than to be (10)____ behind
Leaving was never my (11)_____
Leaving New York, never (12)____
I saw the light (13)______ out

Now life is (14)_____
And what it brings
I tried to take
But (15)__________
It wears me (16)___
It (17)____ in (18)____

And I've lost
Still in my eyes

This is real
Memory (23)_____ and (24)________ 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 a 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
I love you, forever
I told you, I love you
I love you, forever
I told you, forever
You never, you never
You told me forever

You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around

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 life 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 life fading out (change)
