I don't want to see you go

There's too much to say.



But it's gone on for too long

I know how much it hurts to hear

You show it and I know it

So there's no reason for the tears.



I don't want to see you go

Don't want to see you cry.



'Cos I've been there and I know it

How much it hurts being left behind

If you hold on, just be strong

There'll come a time.



All things will come to pass, you know

All things will come around



I see your bags are packed

I guess that means you won't be back

There's nothing left could keep me chained

To get you, bring you back again.



If you hold on, won't be long

We'll find our time and place once more

Just hold tight, it's alright

We've been here before.



All things will come to pass, you know

All things will come around.



But if you don't want to stay, say goodbye

My number's on your wall

'Cos I've been there and I've seen it

It's there beside those other guys

So keep it, you may need it

There's no more reason for the lies.
