Sixteen years and it comes to this
Parting lines and a final kiss
Your hands are shaking a cab waits in the rain
Now I've never felt more alone
Can't believe that these days are gone
After all we've begun
You say you'll be there for me and 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 lose
When you walk away
You're 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
And when you find what you want isn't all you need
With you want to run right back to me
Those sixteen years
Don't they mean anything to you
How can you leave with so much to lose
When you walk away
You're taking the morning from my day
Show me the pain inside of you
Time moves on and you'll be gone
Then I'll hold on to the finer things I need to keep me strong
But one sweet day we'll put them all away
And maybe then there will be no price to pay
Those sixteen years...
Someday you'll understand |
