Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. No, I can’t say I know how you’re feeling Or what you’re going through But I can tell Lately you’ve been hurting And that’s not you There are times that we feel like running Tell ourselves that we’re good for nothing But you know that’s not true
You could choose to stay You could choose to see beyond this moment Hope for a better day I know that life gets hard, no matter who you are If you hold on something better’s on the way You could choose to stay
2. You think that life Would just go on without you Like nothing changed But you’re a part Of a bigger picture It wouldn’t be the same All the plans that we made together Would disappear and be gone forever If you went away
You could choose to stay You could choose to see beyond this moment Hope for a better day I know that life gets hard, no matter who you are If you hold on something better’s on the way
You could choose to stay You could choose to see beyond this moment Hope for a better day I know that life gets hard, no matter who you are If you hold on something better’s on the way You could choose to stay Choose to stay
