can we stay

march 1993

once again we’re here in the end
we didn’t think of it when this began
and it had to end this way
we had to leave a life where we wish to stay

we both know we still love each other
but for some reason, we can’t stay together
it’s hard to think it’s for our own good
we’re leaving a love as if we were fools

can we stay forever together
but people say that there is a better life
can’t we stay together much longer
we just can’t leave a love that was our life

what is it in us that’s wrong
i know there’s never time to let go
people say it, people want us apart
as if it’s very easy to have a broken heart

and to think we were here all those years
just to leave each other and waste some tears
we know it’s for a better life
but what if it hurts, we’ll just break down inside

do we really have to leave and do we really need to part ways?
what about the joy, the victories, and pain that we experienced together?
should they be just plain memories?

should they be just plain memories?
