Lyrics
Don?t disappear, don?t fade away
We?ve gone through this before
Lived to fight another day
Please don?t despair, don?t slip away
You?re the one I waited for
I know it?s easier to throw it all away
But please? don?t fade away
Can?t judge ourselves by what we lost
When there?s others just like us
Who?ll never bring themselves to count the cost
They don?t despair or slip away
They stay together though
They know it?s easier to throw it all away
So please? don?t fade away
