I could spend my whole life writing love songs If they'd help bring me closer to you Trying to find the right words But they all get so blurred While expressing my feelings, I get so confused And I can analyze and you can analyze We can both analyze till we're blue Let emotions take reign Let them play their own games Let the freedom of youth captivate you Let this song last forever, let this song last a day Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away No matter what happens if we go our own ways We'll be both walking wiser if walking away Now, I know you've been hurt, you've been broken Life just ain't real without pain And there's no guarantee That all ends happily When you fall you gotta rise up swinging again And you can run away, I can run away We can both run till our lives are through Some people hide till they're hollow inside Please don't allow that to happen to you Let this song last forever, let this song last a day Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away No matter what happens if we go our own ways We'll be both walking wiser if walking away I'm so damn tired of hearing songs about pain There's so much to learn, life's too short now to spend it afraid Let this song last forever, let this song last a day Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away No matter what happens if we go our own ways We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
