love comes, love goes,
but a certain feeling never lets me be
somehow, i know, 
quite a part of me isn't changed since you've been gone
like a sturdy tree thats sees a thousand seasons
i still shed my leaves in winter 
to grow them back in spring 
to welcome life again
to welcome you

so goes, my life
still believe in dreams of having you around
too bad, memories feed the mind and not the heart 
where i want you to be,
so i ask myself what you've left behind for me 
to go on each day and live as if
i have you once again
what else is there that's real
but all the pain that i feel,

chorus:
so let the pain remain
forever in my heart
for every throb it brings is one more moment 
spent with you,
i let the pain, bring on the rain 
if that's the only way
if there's no other way 
to be with you again

too bad memories, feed the mind and not the heart 
where i want you to be 
so i ask myself what you've left behind for me
to go on each day 
and live as if i have you once again
what else is there that's real
but all the pain that i feel

(chorus 2x)
