Let me smile and for a while
Let me feel that this real
Let me hold you
and know that you are here.
Be my prayer, let me hope
Be my friend when I can't cope
In the end it's all worthwhile
Let me smile.
I've heard you say you'd rather go than stay,
The time is right, you made up your mind.
I've heard you cry, and as you say goodbye,
Don't forget what you leave behind.
When you take the time to think things over,
Remember what I said.
When you take the time to think things over,
Don't let the memories mess your head.
I've seen your heart, you're tearing it apart
Hold on to what once made you strong.
I've seen you smile, and I know it's not my style.
But I have to say that I was wrong.
