If I stay Life is more than just a game. I've learnt that…
““If I stay Life is more than just a game. I've learnt that fun is not the same When faced with such a thorny choice, I close my eyes and hear a voice… It tells me what to do and say When to go and when to stay. When it's time to run away, But it won't tell me this. But still why me? I ask you why? Why must I choose to live or die? To this I can't turn a blind eye; I've done that far too much. So many reasons say 'don't go' I'd want to stay but I don't know When love itself is lost from earth Should I still walk on it's soft hearth? Is there yet a space for me? Is there still someone I might be? Can I stay here on my own? Can I face the world alone? Some say dying is just a step, That life is one and this the next, But can I watch life blow away? And what will happen If I stay?””
