And why can't you wait a little longer
You don't want to leave this soon 
There's one thing I want you to know 
Give me some time before you go 
My ears cannot stand this silence 
Please say my name one more time 
My eyes cannot stand the light 
So fragile how can you cry 
How can you see 
My ears cannot stand this silence now 
Say my name one more time 
My eyes cannot stand the light 
So fragile how can you cry with a smile 
Can't you wait a little longer 
You don't want to leave this soon 
There's one thing I want you to know 
Give me some time to explain 
Listen to me before you go 
Take me along 
as you sit here all alone 
Getting to know myself 
I do not care about the birds 
Nor about the sun
I know it is not your choice 
I know it's not your fault 
That you'll be gone 
So take me along now 
Together we cry 
As we see the end coming near 
Your tired eyes feel my fear 
Feel my fear again
