THE LYRICS:
I
understand you had to go
If that’s what makes you happy
But I wanted you to stay
Was I just being selfish?
Was I being too protective
Like a mother to her child?
Mother to her child
Found it in myself to say goodbye
But my stomach was turning
I didn’t want you to see me cry
But wish I could have seen you break
You were supposed to be strong
Like a father to his child
Father to his child
Chorus:
You don’t have to leave
To get away from me
You don’t have to be alone
To be lonely
Run…
Go ahead and run…
I understand you loved her first
Was I just in line waiting?
I believed all of your lies
While she was in the dark waiting
Was I being to trusting
Like the child that I am?
I should have ran
Found it in myself
To wish you well
Because I know you are learning
I didn’t want to see you go
Because you’ll never be returning
Ooh we’re both burning
Like the children that we are…
Repeat Chorus
