Lyrics
Left behind in New York City
City lights were glowing low, I turned my back and let her go
Suitcase heavy, heart much more
I walked away and closed the door
She cried softly in that hall
But I just stared straight past it all
No goodbyes, no words to mend
Just the silence of the end
She was everything I knew
But something told me to break through
Left behind in New York City, she's a song that won't stop playing
Took the train but left my soul, she had my heart, now I don't know
Left behind in New York City, where love stayed but I let go
Now I see her in the steam of subway doors and midnight dreams
Every corner, every sign, feels like her hand once held in mine
I thought freedom was the key, but now her ghost walks home with me
Left behind in New York City, she's a song that won't stop playing
Took the train but left my soul, she had my heart, now I don't know
Left behind in New York City, where love stayed but I let go
Was it fear or just my pride? Couldn't stand to stay and try
She's still there beneath those skies, while I chase some foolish light
Left behind in New York City, she's a song that won't stop playing
Took the train but left my soul, she had my heart, now I don't know
Left behind in New York City, where love stayed but I let go
