If anyone had told me Things would get this far I'd have told them they were crazy Yet, here we are Pride can be our enemy We both know the cost So tell me if you're having Second thoughts We don't have to do this It's not carved in stone Or are we so lost we can't find Our way back home Tell me where's it written That we can't change our minds We don't have to do this We don't have to say goodbye Years should count for something Tears can't be in vain To let this go so easy would be a shame We don't have to do this It's not carved in stone Or are we so lost that we can't find Our way back home Tell me where's it written That we can't change our minds We don't have to do this We don't have to say goodbye If leaving is the answer Why does this feel so bad Should we really walk away From everything we had Tell me where's it written That we can't change our minds, no We don't have to do this We don't have to say goodbye We don't have to do this We don't have to say goodbye
