[Verse 1]

Do you remember?
That time we spent together
On the staircase
Just laughing loudly
Writing stories
Crying softly
And smiling widely

Oh, do you remember?
That time I told you
That I'm gonna lose you
And that I might never ever come back

Oh, it really hurt to leave back then
I was forced to go, but then again...

[Chorus]
I don't wanna leave
I'll be here, I won't go anywhere
I don't wanna leave
I'll stay, I'll be with you somewhere
I'll come back, please come back
I don't want to go
I don't want you to go

[verse 2]

I'm sorry I left
I thought it was best
The letters we sent
It stopped and we stopped
We stopped talking
We stopped laughing
But we never stopped crying

We thought a lot
We probably both thought
"What did I do?"
What did we do?
We stopped

[Chorus]
I don't wanna leave
I'll be here, I won't go anywhere
I don't wanna leave
I'll stay, I'll be with you somewhere
I'll come back, please come back
I don't want to go
I don't want you to go

In every sentence there's a finish
In every history, there's an end and beginning
Please don't let this be the end.
