lyrics

I don’t want to love
This time I’m not choosing it
It’s not worth the pain
And agony of losing it

Don’t want to give my heart
When I don’t know how long
You will be around

I’ve known too much hurt
My heart is still healing
But I still can’t help
All these things I’m feeling

I’m falling for you
But know my heart will break
When it hits the ground

These days will pass us by
And soon will come the time
When you will go away

I don’t want to say goodbye
Though I know you’re going to die
Some day
Some day

Better to have loved
Than not to ever knew it
Though it hurts me so
I’m glad we went through it

But now you are gone
And how can I go on
Now that we’re apart

And if I had the chance
Only to relive it
I would take it now
If you could only give it

Even though I knew
I’d be losing you
I’d go back to the start

Now our days have passed
And it broke my heart
To see you slip away

But I must not ask why
I knew that you would die
Someday
Someday

Do not weep for me
Only keep me with you
In the sky and sea
I will never leave you

Always in your heart
Always in your mind
And your memories

Some times it hurts too much
Knowing you’re not here
But the love we had
Won’t ever disappear

Our time has passed us by
I knew all along
That you couldn’t stay

Now I’ll try not to cry
Cause we all have to die
Someday
