I don’t want to live forever But I don’t want to die alone A pair of eyes that love me Is all I want I don’t want to say no goodbyes But I don’t want our love in pain Life’s too short to play In those kinds of games (Chorus) Oh, I don’t want to be the one leaving But I see our winds have changed We’re sailing in different directions Yet we both wanna stay close friends Like smiling islands I don’t need to see you’re pretending And I don’t want those lies in bed It’s better to end it Then cheat on what’s left And I don’t want to make you unhappy And I don’t want to let us go You’re the one with the eyes That give me the hope (Repeat Chorus) Then one day when we’ve sailed Over every sea We’ll remember that we sailed away Honestly Smiling Islands
