There's a light It's burning in your eyes tonight You're doing more Than Killing time Did our dreams Simply burn out like kerosene Chasing the ghosts from another life I know you're gonna go away Before you do I got something to say If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years They might not end up like we did Love has a way of losing its shine over time You were young and so was I We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy There's a voice of a little girl and a little boy Is your freedom, worth the price? There's nothing left to say The heart tends to only want what causes it to break And we both know, this ain't right So think about them before you go Cause I can't do this on my own If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years They might not end up like we did Love has a way of losing its shine over time You were young and so was I We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years They might not end up like we did I know love has a way of losing its shine over time You were young and so was I If we could stay together for the kids it'll be enough This ain't about love It ain't about us We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy We don't have to be happy Darlin' won't you come back home
