Back in the days I never found out That you had it out for me When you'd had enough of me We were the kids livin' in right now I'm just tryin' to make you see And to make your life complete I'll be there after I leave you somewhere So far away I will never take the road that leads me back in time through shades of my life 'Cause it's always about you But this time I'll find my own way and I'll make it though just fine When I was young and in love I didn't know why And how you wanted things to seem Like I was living out my dreams But fallin' for you was never in my mind That's the way it had to be 'Cause I couldn't be happy I'll be there after I leave you somewhere So far away I will never take the road that leads me back in time through shades of my life 'Cause it's always about you But this time I'll find my own way and I'll make it though just fine Why can't I be like you my friend I'm trying to pick me up again And remember the days when we used to spend time So far away I will never take the road that leads me back in time through shades of my life 'Cause it's always about you But this time I'll find my own way and I'll make it though just fine
