[Verse 1]
Welcome
Or should I say goodbye?
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you goin' back home, after this show
Or leaving for the wild?

All the pieces came together (so long)
Finally but not too late
All is shown (all is shown)
All shut down (shut down)
All the world is gone (all the world is gone)
Just pretend that I'm not there (so long)
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway
I'll love you (love you) anyway
Love you anyway
