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
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 hide the way I feel
When you find what you want
Is it all you need
Would you wanna run right back to me
Those sixteen years
Don´t they mean anything to you
How can you leave
So much to lose
When you walk away
You´re taking the morning from my day
Show me the pain
That´s inside of you
Time moves on
And you´ll be gone
And I´ll hold on to the finer things
I need to keep me strong
But one sweet day
We´ll put them all away
I hope you know that no one stays the same
Those sixteen years
Don´t they mean anything to you
How can you leave
So much to lose
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
