I'm leaving now

Sixteen years and 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

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

You're taking the morning from my day

Show me the pain

That's 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 hide the way I feel

When you find what you want

Isn't it all you need

With 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

You're 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

We'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

You're 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
