Lyrics:
If you go away just know someday I’ll see your face
And I’ll think about you every time I pray
Ain’t it a shame that all our lives just end this way

I should’ve picked up the phone
I should’ve made some plans to see you
Now it’s all too late and the times were great
I’ll miss you
And say I love you every chance I can
Cause you made me who I am

I’ll fake a laugh and smile back
If we crack some jokes
Maybe we’ll forget all the pain and how it shows
Oh but I’ll replay all these feelings as we go

I don’t want to do this again
I don’t want to do this again
