The Way It Must Be

Baby how could I have been so vain

To make you feel like you're the only one to blame

For all these distances and none of this pain

Baby how could I have been so blind

To presuppose that your needs were just like mine

You've been a prisoner for a long long time

'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free

If that's the way it must be

I tried so hard to make you part of me

That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see

Someone that you could never ever be

So full of pride I could not see straight

I thought you'd change if I could only wait

I see the truth now but it's much too late

'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free

If that's the way it must be

Oh-oh Oh-oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean

Oh-oh Oh-oh, is there nothing left but silence in between

Oh-oh Oh-oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean

Oh-oh Oh-oh, is there nothing left but silence in between

Baby how'd we hold on so long

To something both of us must have known was wrong

We're either fools or must be terribly strong

'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free

If that's the way it must be

'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free

If that's the way it must be

'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free

If that's the way it must be
