Haven't we been here before

Footsteps lead down to the note on the door

That says I can't stay here anymore



And haven't we felt this same way

Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same

To say I can't stay one minute more



You might think that it's hopeless

Beyond our control

But that's not necessarily so

Can't you see there's a chance

For the daring young soul

Who's finally learned to say no



No, I won't be misused

Ignored or refused

And I won't just give up and let go



So tonight hold me close to you

And don't give up what's important to you

And as time rolls on

Nothing can stand in our way



And I believe if we learn from the past

We'd find keys to unlock every door

Dark would turn into light

We'd be strong

We'd be right



So tonight hold me close to you

And don't give up what's important to you

And as time rolls on

Nothing will stand in our way



And I believe if we learn from the past

We'd say haven't we been here before

Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts

We'd find keys to unlock every door

Hearts could change overnight

We'd be strong...We'd be right

So stay with me now

The future is ours

And we'll be the ones who go on
