How can it be this way? Take one last look, then turn away. I don't know what to say Anymore? This doesn't quite seem how A love like this is supposed to turn out, Tell me what happens now If you go. Chorus: How can we both just turn and leave? Is it really that hard for us to believe? I still go on thinking love is all we need. Stay and let's talk some more. Set down your bag and close the front door. There must be an answer- So just stay. We can make things right. Oh, how you look in the hallway light. Let's take another night And pray. Chorus: How can it be this way? Take one last look, then turn away. I can't seem to make you stay And try. One last thing before you go- Forever I'll always love you. I'm willing to try in the future, you know, So let's not say goodbye.
