I´ve been down this road before
I walk out the door
Leave you on the floor

Sometimes you run and hide
Your foolish pride´s
What keeps me from
Giving you more

So the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
Cause you got growing up to do

Someday I´ll return when its time
For payment in kind
The church bells will chime

You´ll stand before me surrounded by lights
Dressed in white
You throw flowers in the air this night

But the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do

Looks like the rain´s pouring down on me
It´s drowning me now
And all I want is to come back home
And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry
But I can´t think of what else to try

That´s why the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do

Yeah, the best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
