I've got this doubt
A seed in my mind
Is this the right time?
The right line?
To tell you
That after two months
What you thought we had
Was just a hunch
And I don't know
What I should do
Should I stay
Or hurt you?
I gotta go
Perhaps not the time
The right place
Your insides have died
It's in your face
I start to cry
Our last goodbye
I can't find the words
To stop your hurt
I do care
It isn't fair
But I hope you'll see
Eventually
That I'm just trying
Despite my crying
To protect you
I miss you.
I can't forget
The times we had
The regret
Makes me sad
Did I do bad?
Did I do wrong?
The words you said
A soulless song
Please, don't go on
So now we cry
Eye to eye
Our tears are one
All this spite
It's not right
Do I cry?
Or dance tonight?
Back to square one
