Sixteen Years
Leave
I'm leaving now
Sixteen years and it comes to this
Parting lines and a final kiss
Your hands are shaking, a cab waits in the rain
No, I never felt more alone
I can't believe that these days are gone
After all that we've begun
You say you'll be there, I just have to call
Must you choose between me and all your dreams?
When you can be free right here with me
Those sixteen years, don't they mean anything to you?
How can you leave with so much to loose?
When you walk away, taking the morning from my day
Show me the pain inside of you, I need to understand
Sixteen years, now my thoughts run wild
How you held me like a child
I'll fight these tears but I can't hide the way I feel
When you find what you want, isn't it all you need
Will you wanna run right back to me?
Those sixteen years, don't they mean anything to you?
How can you leave? There's so much to loose
Oh, when you walk away, taking the morning form my day
Show me the pain that's inside of you
Time moves on and you'll be gone
And I hold on to the finer things
I need to keep me strong
But one sweet day, I'll put them all away
I'll hope you know that no one stays the same
Those sixteen years, don't they mean anything to you?
How can you leave? There's so much to loose, yeah
When you walk away, taking the morning from my day
Show me the pain that's inside of you, I need to understand
Someday you'll understand
Yes, you will
