i know that you're going away,
and you know that i wish you could stay.
but thinking wont make it any easier, i'll just learn to deal with it.

and its times like these, when i turn around and look at things
its hard to see, exactly whats in front of me
and i just cant be, everything you need me to be, but i can always say i tried.

and i know that you'll be making mistakes,
all those stupid mistakes that everybody makes.
but worrying wont make things any easier, you'll just learn to deal with it.

and its times like these, when i turn around and look at things
its hard to see, exactly whats in front of me
and i just cant be, everything you need me to be, but i can always say i tried.

and we both know we'll be growing apart,
and we both wish that we could go back to the start.
but its just not that easy, and i dont mean to be wasting your time.

but i just cant help thinking that we have so much more than you think.
im not giving up on you, im with this ship until it sinks.
the good times and goodbyes they all seem so far away.
it tears me apart, to watch you walk away.
but i'll sit here and watch you, i cant ask you to stay.
you did what you thought was best, you should have anyway.
maybe without me, you'll finally sit and think...today was a good day, no thanks to him.

and its times like these, when i turn around and look at things
its hard to see, exactly whats in front of me
and i just cant be, everything you need me to be, but i can always say i tried.
