Lyrics:

It’s your life
You say you need a change
Don’t all the dreams we’ve seen come true
Mean anything

You say, “It’s different now”
And you keep starin’ at the door
How can you walk away?
Don’t I matter anymore

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it’s too late for love to change your mind
Then it’s goodbye time

If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years

“Well it’s been fun”
What else can I say
If the feeling’s gone
Words won’t stop you anyway

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it’s too late for love to change your mind
Then it’s goodbye time
