Many had told me and tried to explain It would feel like the sunshine and summer rain But nothing prepared me for you I've always been careful afraid of heights Never a fan of the darkest nights But I'll jump from star to star with you With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind I never thought I was very strong But then I look back at the times I have tried to hold on Hold on to you My roots lie deep, you're still up in the stars This kind of love will always leave a scar It's true, scar in the shape of you With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind Don't you feel just a little light headed Running around the truth After all this time, after all my tears You can no longer hide behind your youth Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind
