Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. No, I can’t sayI know how you’re feelingOr what you’re going throughBut I can tellLately you’ve been hurtingAnd that’s not youThere are times that we feel like runningTell ourselves that we’re good for nothingBut you know that’s not true
You could choose to stayYou could choose to see beyond this momentHope for a better dayI know that life gets hard, no matter who you areIf you hold on something better’s on the wayYou could choose to stay
2. You think that lifeWould just go on without youLike nothing changedBut you’re a partOf a bigger pictureIt wouldn’t be the sameAll the plans that we made togetherWould disappear and be gone foreverIf you went away
You could choose to stayYou could choose to see beyond this momentHope for a better dayI know that life gets hard, no matter who you areIf you hold on something better’s on the way
You could choose to stayYou could choose to see beyond this momentHope for a better dayI know that life gets hard, no matter who you areIf you hold on something better’s on the wayYou could choose to stayChoose to stay
