We go it alone in our waking hours
But we're never really apart
We're distant when our dreams take the reigns
Though unconscious thoughts bring us back
And how often do we go our seperate ways
Only to come together like we never left

We've been apart all our lives
Though in our hearts we're always near
You'll never see me walk away
No matter how bad things appear

I don't stay because I need to
There are other things I need to do
I don't stay because you're madly in love with me
We both know that's untrue
I don't stay because I'm lost
I've found my own way through
I stay because I want to
I stay because I love you

Painful or not
You're the one who knows me
Even if I'm not with you
My heart will not be lonely
Every time I lost control
Your words would console me
I'm with you even if you're not
I give my heart to you only

And though we'll go through tribulations
We won't be executed at the end of the trials
Nothing will keep my love from you
Not pain; not years; not miles

I don't stay because I need to
There are other things I need to do
I don't stay because you're madly in love with me
We both know that's untrue
I don't stay because I'm lost
I've found my own way through
I stay because I want to
I stay because I love you
