Lyrics
I never wanted to make you feel bad.
I never wanted to make you feel sad.
All I wanted was to help myself out.
And that meant leaving.
I'm sorry that meant leaving.
You look so beautiful when you cry now.
You are so beautiful as I wave goodbye now.
I needed, I needed to fly.
And that meant leaving.
On and on. Holding on.
I thought that we would keep it together somehow.
But on and on I was wrong.
And I think that I will take it from here now.
I never wanted to break your heart.
You see it was between you and me.
And I wanted mine back.
I never wanted to be on my own.
Yet, here I'm leaving.
Did you think that I would put up with your lies?
Did you think that I would say to you, "Alright?"
Did you think I'd just go
