You’ll be with me
Until the time
I don’t say the things you really need to say
One day I, I might seem unkind you know I wish there was another way.
I will have to take away my best,
Though it won’t feel right inside my aching chest.
You’ll never grow,
If I don’t go.
You gotta try to learn to need me less.

I haven’t been very fair,
I’d be lying if said I don’t see what’s wrong.
But let us be as we are,
Because I like to feel that somehow I’m alone.
And before I leave you, I will guess.
Being fine alone will be the hardest test.
I’ll never grow,
If I don’t go.
I gotta try to learn to need you less.

And you will find one day,
That when you least expect,
You will be that someone who will give as much as get.
And when that wisdom comes, you’ll look back on us.
You will know that this is love.

I will have to take away my best,
Being fine alone will be the hardest test.
I’ll never grow,
If I don’t go.
You gotta try to learn to need you less.
I gotta try to learn to need you less.
