Lyrics
What is this love
That I leave behind
How can I turn
From the tears in your eyes
What is this world
Where we always pretend
That it is worth it
Worth it in the end
What is this life we share
That I just throw away
Is this love
That causes so much pain
What is the promise
That I leave behind
Why can’t I
Just lie beside you again
What’s goin’ on
How’d it get so wrong
What is this dream
That I’ll never find
What is this prayer
That’s stealing my mind
What is this deal
That I’ve just made with fate
And I wonder If I have left it too late
That I leave behind
How can I turn
From the tears in your eyes
What is this world
Where we always pretend
That it is worth it
Worth it in the end
What is this life we share
That I just throw away
Is this love
That causes so much pain
What is the promise
That I leave behind
Why can’t I
Just lie beside you again
What’s goin’ on
How’d it get so wrong
What is this dream
That I’ll never find
What is this prayer
That’s stealing my mind
What is this deal
That I’ve just made with fate
And I wonder If I have left it too late
