I could give you
The love you've given up
To live in pain
I love you, but will never forget this
I love you, to live this way
I love you, to live this way
And how would you live?
How would you live
Without her?
If you don't love her, let her go
If you don't love her, let her go
And live in peace
I could give you
The love you've given up
To live in pain
I love you, but will never forget this
I love you, to live this way
I love you, to live this way
And how would you live?
How would you live
Without her?
If you don't love her, let her go
If you don't love her, let her go
And live in peace
