lyrics

He's leaving her tonight
He can't endure another day
He's tried and tried and tried
He doesn't see another way

They've come so far it seems a waste to throw it all away
Is there a way to heal a heart, to still save face and stay?

You can change your mind when you see the other side
If you empathize, apologize, let go of all the pain
If you just think twice, take a breath, close your eyes
You can write a brand new history when you see the other side


She's leaving him tonight
She can't go on another day
She's tired of feeling tired
She thinks it's for the best this way

But to come apart after being close for oh so long
Is there a way to mend a heart, a way to right the wrong?

You can change your mind when you see the other side
You can scale that wall, think new thoughts; wipe away your tears
If you choose to try, you can make a sacrifice
You can find your silver lining if you see the other side


If you can forgive, you can forget, then it'll lead you to (the other side)
If you can hold on to all the love that you shared then you'll make it to (the other side)
With understanding you can see beyond this and into (the other side)
If you put in the time and hold on and hold on and hold on


You can change your mind when you see the other side
If you empathize, apologize, let go of all the pain
If you just think twice, take a breath, close your eyes
You can write a brand new history when you see the other side

You can change your mind when you see the other side
(If you can forgive, you can forget, then it'll lead you to [the other side])
You can scale that wall, and make it to the other side
(If you can hold on to all the love that you shared then you'll make it to [the other side])
If you choose to try, you can see the other side
(With understanding you can see beyond this and into [the other side])
You can win the prize when you see the other side
(If you put in the time and hold on and hold on and hold on)
