Somebody tell me
When this day is gonna end
It's the worst day
To lose a lover and a friend
Life can be cruel
Love has no rules
And all I can think about is the way
You make love like it would last forever
You take the darkness from my shade
I always knew (I always knew)
My heart would break (My heart would break)
Does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Does it have to be today?
Did you notice the fighting
Comes morе often than the kisses?
I see you inviting somеone else to be yours
Though it's not surprising
Through all the pain that's been caused
Now I'm realizing
I could never be yours
You make love like it would last forever
You take the darkness from my shade
And I always knew (I always knew)
My heart would break (My heart would break)
But does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Does it have to be today?
Can we just wait a little longer?
One more kiss, one more play
Does it have to be today?
You took the darkness away from my shade
I always knew (I always knew)
My heart would break (My heart would break)
But does it have to be, does it have to be today?
Why does it have to be today?
I need more time
Just a couple minutes more
Just stay just a couple minutes more
