| I can’t shake off this dark cloud
|
| It seems like it’s been the only thing in my life for years
|
| What’s the point in being here
|
| When life is spent asking that question over again?
|
| Changing your surroundings
|
| It won’t do you any good
|
| Cause you carry this with you
|
| If we had the choice between
|
| All the things you left us Or having you here with us now
|
| If we had the choice between
|
| All the things you left us Or having you here now
|
| What would we choose?
|
| Did you think this soil would change its properties
|
| Just because you took it to a garden further south?
|
| I can’t stay in, I can’t go out
|
| This feeling follows me about
|
| When you never even knew me How can you claim to feel any pain?
|
| Thing’s didn’t go wrong — they just changed
|
| And when I felt it coming on again…
|
| If we had the choice between
|
| All the things you left us Or having you here with us now
|
| If we had the choice between
|
| All the things you left us Or having you here now
|
| What would we choose?
|
| We only want you here so you can give us more
|
| That’s why we’re sad |
| We want songs like you wrote before
|
| And is your death really any worse
|
| Than any other boy or girl’s
|
| When we never even knew you?
|
| So come back, come back
|
| But you won’t come back
|
| Cause you can’t come back!
|
| If you had the choice between
|
| All the things you left us Or being with us now
|
| What would you choose? |
