A strong power ballad - well at least for the song's first half...
lyrics
Say nothing
Your eyes betray your mind
There’s nothing left to keep you
From leaving me behind
Yes, I know it’s not over, we’ll be best friends now
And yes, I ought not to act like this is the end now
I cannot hold you but neither can I let you go
I cannot hold you but neither can I let you go
Guess it’s true what they say, everything withers and dies
...and dies
No, nothing
Makes me cry no tears
No longer prone to heartache
Dragging me down for years
Baby, I’d like to let you know I’m not cryin’
Worn out, raddled and cut, our bond is just dyin’
I could not hold you but neither could I let you go
I could not hold you but neither could I let you go
Guess it’s true what they say, everything withers and dies
Guess it’s true what they say, everything withers and dies
Guess it’s true what they say, even love withers and dies
Your eyes betray your mind
Your eyes betray your mind
There’s nothing left to keep you
From leaving me behind
You’ll make me cry no tears
No longer prone to heartache
Dragging me down for years
I could not hold you but neither could I let you go
I could not hold you but neither could I let you go
Guess it’s true what they say, everything withers and dies
Guess it’s true what they say, everything withers and dies
Guess it’s true what they say, even love withers and dies
