There’s no need
For make believe
Knowing what is
Is the only relief
Everything comes and goes
Nothing lasts forever
Even what we hold
Can’t hold us together
There’s an emptiness inside
That can’t be filled by the strongest of wills
There’s an emptiness inside
That can only be touched by the sweetest goodbye
There’s an emptiness inside
That can’t be filled even by your thrills
There’s an emptiness inside
That can only be touched
By the sweetest goodbye
Everyone must choose
What they show and to who
You belong to the world
And I belonged to you
Living to please
Now means I must leave
And I hold you dear
As the whole in my heart
