How Can It Be

How can it be this way?
Take one last look, then turn away.
I don't know what to say
Anymore…

This doesn't quite seem how
A love like this is supposed to turn out,
Tell me what happens now
If you go.

Chorus:
How can we both just turn and leave?
Is it really that hard for us to believe?
I still go on thinking love is all we need.

Stay and let's talk some more.
Set down your bag and close the front door.
There must be an answer-
So just stay.

We can make things right.
Oh, how you look in the hallway light.
Let's take another night
And pray.

Chorus:
How can it be this way?
Take one last look, then turn away.
I can't seem to make you stay
And try.

One last thing before you go-
Forever I'll always love you.
I'm willing to try in the future, you know,
So let's not say goodbye.
