Is it hard to hear my voice above the sound of distant cars?
I know the highway's calling out to you.
You said that it'd be different now, that I was all you need,
I guess that I'm just an optimistic fool.
Cause the more you say that things will change,
The more they seem to stay the same,
I guess I need to face the truth,
And cut you loose, and take the pain.
And if leaving makes you happy then I guess you'd better go,
I can't hold your body when your heart's out on the road.
I thought you were the one but I'm the one that should've known,
That being yours means being on my own.
So if leaving makes you happy, you can go,
I wont keep you anymore.
I always knew that loving you was bound to come to this,
Don't they say that good times never last?
The light that burns the brightest is the first to flicker out-
I never thought you'd flicker out so fast.
Wishes made on shooting stars,
Dissapear into to the dark,
I should've listened to the truth,
Instead of listening to my heart.
And if leaving makes you happy then I guess you'd better go,
I can't hold your body when your heart's out on the road,
I thought you were the one but I'm the one who should've known,
That being yours means being on my own.
So if leaving makes you happy you can go,
I won't keep you anymore.
I guess I saw this coming but the truth is hard to face,
I can't stop your running, I can only leave the race,
So where you gonna run to when to you long for my embrace?
I guess you'll go and find somebody new.
And when they learn to love you,
Tell me then what will you do?
Can anybody out there bring your running to an end?
I just wish that someone had been me.
You might find it frightning,
When you're out there all alone,
You might find you no longer wanna be.
But when you start to feel the fear,
And need someone to hold you near,
You might just start to think of me,
But don't come back, I won't be here.
And if leaving makes you happy then I guess you'd better go,
I can't hold your body when your heart's out on the road.
I thought you were the one but I'm the one that should've known
That being yours means being on my own.
If leaving makes you happy you can go,
I won't keep you any more.
If leaving makes you hppy then just go,
I won't keep you anymore.
