Lead on
To keep our feelings strong
And make me still believe
Our page is one and the same
Our ways will separate tonight

You say if we were to wait
Some things just might be changed
I say that I don't have the strength
To fuel a burning flame
Speak to me
What can I say, we just live too far away
That's a shame that love can make you stay

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end

Leave me the way it has to be
Excuse my poor excuse
Tell me that insecurities
Are what drove me to you
And everyday I compare your face
From sweet beginnings to your bitter end

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end
Let me let go

Sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
When you and I both know this is the end

    General Comment:This is a great song and one that has a lot of significance to me. Hearing this song actually convinced me to break up with my long term girlfriend who had moved from the UK to Australia.

    'Sweet thing, I hope you know I'm wondering where you are'

    It shows that the person still cares, and will never forget you, but sometimes you have to look in the mirror and accept that this is never going to happen, and that it's time to call it a day. Sometimes love just isn't enough.

    General Comment:i totally agree with alibisandlyingeyes. like, its about a long distance relationship and that they are breaking it off. hes talking about how he cant keep trying to make the relationdship work, that its too painful and hard. and that she keeps saying they can try again, but they both know that this is the end

    General Comment:It's about a long distance relationship, obviously. Maybe even an internet one..? That's just what it sounds like to me. They're really in love but the distance is too much. If they wait to meet eachother, things could change, their feelings for eachother might change. They say that things could work someday maybe when the circumstances are better, but they both know it won't end up happening. Yeah.

    General Comment:This sounds so dorky..but. this song means a lot to me just becuase my boyfriend is moving to Houston. Ironically my name is Karina...his name isn't Kenny, but it's still odd and touching.

    General Comment:Kenny is not that hot in person, the starting line is more than kenny, in case you haven't noticed. I never said he didn't like being called Kenny. I was making reference to how the stupid girl was saying it was MESSED UP that it said kenny in the cd insert. which is it not messed up in the least bit. So, if you are going to try to correct me, get a fucking brain first.

    General Comment:"Did anyone look at these lyrics in the folded part of the CD? They're a little messed up. They got the Ken's name as Kenny and this girl's name Karina."
    Why is that messed up? Ken refers to himself as Kenny sometimes and the song is about a girl named Karina...
    go back to liking nsync or something!
