if i stay
for a while
i probably could make you crack a smile
but i know it wouldn't last
there's too much on your mind
for it to pass

if i leave
home tonight
it possibly could be for the last time
and i know we couldn't go back
there's too much on your mind
for it to pass

dry your eyes
stow the knife
maybe we can sit and talk a while
and i know we can make it last
there's too much good in life
for it to pass
