Leaving was never my proud
Is everything
It's quiet now and what it brings
I tried to take
It lies in way
I love you forever
Comes calling back, a brilliant night
I love you forever
Leaving was never my proud
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
Songwriters: Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe
You might have succeeded in changing me
I saw the light fading out
You might have succeeded in changing me
You find it in your heart, change
I looked ahead
You never, you never
Now life is sweet and what it brings
I'm still awake
You might have laughed if I told you
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving New York never easy
But I swear, this is real
Leaving New York never easy
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
But loneliness, it wears me out
I told you forever
I'm sure I saw you there
I saw the life fading out
I love you forever
You might have laughed if I told you
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
You told me forever
Leaving New York never easy

You might have succeeded in changing me
You might have hidden a frown
The shadow of necklace across your thigh
I love you forever
I might have been turned around
You might have laughed if I told you
I told you, I love you
Leaving New York never easy
Leaving was never my proud
I might have been turned around
You don't need me to tell you now
I saw the light fading out
You might have hidden a frown
And all not lost, still in my eyes
I told you forever
That nothing can compare
I saw the light fading out
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel
I might have been turned around
I saw the life fading out
I told you, I love you
Leaving New York never easy
I might have lived my life in a dream
You might have hidden the frown
