Lyrics
|
|
I don't want to live forever
|
But I don't want to die alone
|
A pair of eyes that love me
|
Is all I want
|
|
I don't want to say no goodbyes
|
But I don't want our love in pain
|
Life's too short to play
|
In those kinds of games
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Oh, I don't want to be the one leaving
|
But I see our winds have changed
|
We're sailing in different directions
|
Yet we both wanna stay close friends
|
Like smiling islnds
|
|
I don't need to see you're pretending
|
And I don't want those lies in bed
|
It's better to end it
|
Then cheat on what's left
|
|
And I don't want to make you unhappy
|
And I don't want to let us go
|
You're the one with the eyes
|
That give me the hope
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Then one day when we've sailed
|
Over every sea
|
We'll remember that we sailed away
|
Honestly
