Baby how could I have been so vain
|
To make you feel like you're the only one to blame
|
For all these distances and none of this pain
|
Baby how could I have been so blind
|
To presuppose that your needs were just like mine
|
You've been a prisoner for a long long time
|
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
|
If that's the way it must be
|
I tried so hard to make you part of me
|
That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see
|
Someone that you could never ever be
|
So full of pride I could not see straight
|
I thought you'd change if I could only wait
|
I see the truth now but it's much too late
|
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
|
If that's the way it must be
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh-oh Oh-oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean
|
Oh-oh Oh-oh, is there nothing left but silence in between
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Baby how'd we hold on so long
|
To something both of us must have known was wrong
|
We're either fools or must be terribly strong
|
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
|
If that's the way it must be
|
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
|
If that's the way it must be
|
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
|
If that's the way it must be
|
