BARE
YOU'D BETTER SAY IT NOW
ANYTHING BUT "STAY"
JUST SAY IT NOW
WE KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE END
WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW
"WELL AT LEAST WE'LL STILL BE
FRIENDS"
YEAH ONE LAST USELESS WOW ...
"THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO
LIVE"
YEAH I KNOW THAT STUFF
"OTHERS WAY TO GIVE"
YEAH ALL THAT STUFF
BUT HOLDING ONTO USED TO BE
IS NOT ENOUGH
MEMORY'S NOT LIFE
AND IT'S NOT LOVE
IT'S NEVER THE SAME
SO WHY DOES IT HURTS LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU SAY THAT I'VE CHANGED ?
WHEN YOU SAY THAT I'VE AGED
SAY I'M AFRAID ...
THEY'RE NOT TEARS FOR ME
REGRETS ABOUT YOUR LIFE
THEY'RE NOT REGRETS FOR ME
IT'S NEVER TURNS OUT HOW YOU WANT
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE ?
IT ALL JUST SLIP AWAY
IT ALWAYS SLIPS AWAY
EVENTUALLY ...
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TURN YOUR FACE AWAY
AND SAY GOODBYE
YOU KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE END
JUST DON'T KNOW WHY
AND YOU KNOW WE CAN'T PRETEND
AFTER ALL THIS TIME
SO JUST LET IT ALL GO
NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME
SO WHY DOES IT HURT ME LIKE THIS
TO SAY THAT I'VE CHANGED ?
TO SAY THAT I'VE AGED
SAY I'M AFRAID ...
AND I THINK OF WHAT I'VE DONE
OF HOW I'VE THROWN MY SWEETEST DREAMS
AWAY
AND WHAT I'VE REALLY BECOME
AND HOWEVER HARD I TRY
I WILL ALWAYS FEEL THE REGRET
HOWEVER HARD I TRY
I WILL NEVER FORGET
IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO SAY
WE SHOULD LET IT ALL GO
AND ALL THE TEARS YOU CRY
SO IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO
SAY
BUT THERE ARE LONG LONG NIGHTS WHEN
I LAY AWAKE
I WILL NEVER FORGET
