(Written to Anne...but maybe really twice as much to Helena. Quote Helena just after she's entered Ingvild's room; "Can you play decision...? Plllleeeaaaassseeee?")

Decision
 
You told me you would never leave
You should have promised me that day
Another promise you couldn't keep
but keeping things was never your way

But the sun still shines in my life
even though you went away
but not another day goes by
without me wishing
you had decided to stay

Do you remember the time
we sat and watched two birds cross the evening sky
You told me one day you'd let me fly
And now I see it was not another empty lie

But the sun still shines in my life
even though you went away
but not another day goes by
without me wishing
you had decided to stay

And things will never be the same
Things will never be the same

Promises are to be kept
That's why you never gave me anyone
But still your words just say them all
even after you're gone

But the sun still shines in my life
even though you went away
but not another day goes by
without me wishing
you had decided to stay
You had decided to stay
To stay
