The Only Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time you go away
I feel the pain, I feel the same
It's like a rain
I hear your name, I fall apart
This is the end
Why do we start?
This is the only way, you go away
Be my friend, come back again
Come back again
Every time she goes away, I feel the pain
I feel the same, it's like a rain
Every time I hear her name, I fall apart
This is the end
Why do we stop?
This is the only, you go away
Be my friend, come back again
The only way
This is the only way
The only way
The only way
Every time I make you cry, it's like I die
Got fucked here, I'm seeing red
I can't feel, it's like I'm dead
I'm an alien, not from this earth
Alien, not from this earth
You know the feel, in my birth
The only way, the only way
This is the only way
This is the only way
The only way, the only way
Every time she goes away, I feel the pain
I feel the same, it's like a rain
Every time I hear her name, I fall apart
This is the end
Why do we stop?
This is the only way
Be my friend, come back again
Be my friend, be my friend
Come back again
Every time she goes away, I feel the pain
I feel the same, it's like a rain
Every time I hear her name, I fall apart
This is the end
Why do we stop?
This is the only way
Go away, be my friend
Come back again
Be my friend, come back again
The only way, the only way
The only way
Be my friend, be my friend
Come back again
The only way
This is the only way
Be my friend, be my friend
Come back again
Come back again
Come back again
