THE CURE - BARE Lyrics

If you've got something left to sayyou'd better say it nowanything but "stay"just say it nowwe know we've reached the endwe just don't know how"well at least we'll still be friends"yeah one last useless vow..."there are different ways to live"yeah I know that stuff"other ways to give"yeah all that stuffbut holding onto used to beis not enoughmemory's not lifeand it's not lovewe should let it all goit never stays the sameso why does it hurt me like thiswhen you say that I’ve changed?When you say that I’ve aged?Say I’m afraid...And all the tears you crythey're not tears for meregrets about your lifethey're not regrets for meit never turns out how you wantwhy can't you see?It all just slips awayit always slips awayeventually...So if you've got nothing left to sayjust say goodbyeturn your face awayand say goodbyeyou know we've reached the endyou just don't know whyand you know we can't pretendafter all this timeso just let it all gonothing ever stays the sameso why does it hurt me like thisto say that I’ve changed?To say that I’ve aged?Say I’m afraid...But there are long long nights when I lay awakeand I think of what I’ve doneof how I’ve thrown my sweetest dreams awayand what I’ve really becomeand however hard I tryI will always feel regrethowever hard I tryI will never forgetI will never forget
