You can say that the party is over.
You can tell me what good fun it’s been.
You can tell me the good times have ended,
But tell me, when can we start again?
You can try to deny all the feelings
Of love that are inside of you.
You can try to hide your teardrops at night,
But tell me, Should I try to hide mine too?
You could make some new friends if you want to.
You could find a new love if you tried,
But you could also begin a new river
By saving the tears we’ve both cried.
You could tell me that you truly hate me,
But I still would be loving you.
You’d be cheating us both if you left me right now
Because you’re still in love with me too.
