I Can'T Stop You From Leaving

I can't stop you from leaving
If that's what you want
But I would rather hold you
For the rest of my life

If that's what you want
I'll learn to love my freedom 
For the rest of my life
That's how long I will be free 

I learn to love my freedom
No one else for the rest of my life
That's how long I will be free
Emptiness prevails in my heart

No one else for the rest of my life
But I would rather hold you
Emptiness prevails in my heart
I can't stop you from leaving



Please don't leave, or is that what you want?
