Pense bem no que você vai fazer agora Se me deixar, o que você ganha em troca? Nada é exatamente como você aprendeu na escola Se deixar morrer, nada traz o amor de volta O orgulho não vai te servir Eu não posso te impedir Mas te peço pra ficar Aqui é teu lugar Te peço pra ficar Dessa vez, quando você bater a porta Sem saber se tirou algum peso das costas Se tiver mais perguntas que respostas Se nossos dias se forem como folhas mortas O orgulho não vai te servir Eu não posso te impedir Mas te peço pra ficar Aqui é teu lugar Te peço pra ficar Pense bem no que você vai fazer agora Se me deixar, o que você ganha em troca?
