The Way It Must Be — текст песни (Fogelberg Dan)

Baby, how could I have been so vain
To make you think that you`re the only one to blame.
For all these distances and all 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.
But 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 that 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.
Chorus
Oh--oh--baby how`d it ever get so cold and mean
Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between.
(Repeat Chorus)
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 terrible strong.
Cause now you run from me.
And I will set you free
If that`s the way it must be.
