A World Apart

Well, here we stand alone, our goodbyes and our waiting

Getting our feet to move, always the hardest part

Like friends we know we've traveled off from one another

And we're trying to face the days a world apart

And change is what we have all been born into

That's what he said and all that I have to hold on to

But you have opened up the heart of me

Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face

And you have opened up a part of me

Saying, please don't leave me here

When I'm a world apart from you

My independence is the part that drew you in

You said, I like the way you know a thing or two

But I must confess the air I breathe and paths I tread

Are making me less aware of what I am to do

I've done all I can to build the strength I need

Climbed all the mountains, wishing you were here to see

But you have opened up the heart of me

Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face

And you have opened up a part of me

Saying, please don't leave me here

When I'm a world apart from

With a true and faithful heart I found

The one apart from all the others

I can stand alone because I know that

You have opened up the heart of me

Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face

And you have opened up a part of me

Saying, please don't leave me here

And you, and you

Saying, please don't leave me here

And you, and you

Saying, please don't leave me here

And you, and you

Please don't leave me here

And you, and you

Saying, please don't leave me here

When I'm a world apart from you
