There's a light
It's burning in your eyes tonight
You're doing more
Then killing time
Did our dreams
Simply burn out like kerosene?
Chasing the ghosts from another life
I know you're gonna go away
Before you do I got something to say

If we could stay together for the kids
And a few more years
They might not end up like we did
Love has a way of losing it's shine
Over time
You were young and so was I
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to bе happy
There's a voice of a littlе girl and a
Little boy
Is your freedom, worth the price?
There's nothing left to say
The heart tends to only want what
Causes it to break
And we both know, this ain't right
So think about them before you go
'Cause I can't do this on my own

If we could stay together for the kids
And a few more years
They might not end up like we did
Love has a way of losing its shine over
Time
You were young and so was I
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy

If we could stay together for the kids
And a few more years
They might not end up like we did
I know love has a way of losing its
Shine over time
You were young and so was I
If we could stay together for the kids
It'll be enough
This ain't about love
It ain't about us

We don't have to be happv
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
Darlin' won't you come back home
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
