YOU SAY
You say, it's better this way.
You tried to make me believe,
That being apart is better...
That we’ll only feel pain in the beginning,
But in the long run, we’ll be sparing ourselves
Endless nights of loneliness
And from our hearts being broken.
YOU must know, that this hurts more.
I want to risk it.
That is how much I want to be with you.
If you just show me one day of happiness,
Then it will all be worth it.
You try to make me understand.
But I cannot understand, because I know it's too late.
You already love me as much as I love you.
You already want to be with me,
And don’t try to deny the dreams
Because I have them too.
You try to act strong
And like it’s best this way.
But, I know you're holding back.
I know you're as curious as I am.
I know you're in as much pain as I am.
And I believe, even though you keep saying
"It’s better this way", you don’t believe it.
I know you're doing this for me,
Because you want to spare me the pain.
I know you wish you had another choice.
But I am finally beginning to understand too,
I can let you go.
If you love something, let it go.
If it comes back to you, it’s yours
And if it doesn’t, it never was.
So, I am letting you go,
Because I know you love me as much as I love you.
In my heart, I know you’ll be back.
I know you will try to go on without me,
only to realize that I’ve been right this whole time...
That we should have risked it,
Because the pain from being apart hurts more,
Knowing we could have been together.
I just hope when you come back, I’ll still be here.
