I saw the life fading out
now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...
the loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in way
and on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh
i might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear, this is real
Memory fuses in shatters out glass, but carry your future, forget the past
but 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 the frown (change)
you might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)

leaving was never my proud (change)
leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out
