I can feel you slip away from me
You're flying high, when I'm still on my feet
And it's never my intention to keep you from your dreams
When you say you still need me
That's not the way it seems

And I know how
Our lives might change with everything we do
But I know now
I can't take this chance away from you
When you love I cry
See the truth I hide
When I'm slowing down
You can keep running for miles
This isn't like me, this isn't like me

Your light's so bright for everyone to see
Keeping you to myself is an impossibility
And with every step you're moving further away from me
But I can't seem to let go
And love you selflessly

And I know how
Our lives might change with everything we do
But I know now
That I can't take this chance away from you
When you love I cry
See the truth I hide
When I'm slowing down
You can keep running for miles
This isn't like me

There's no reason for this pain
I bring it on myself
Cause nobody else shows me like you do
And it's not like me to try to hold you back
You keep on running

And I know how
Our lives might change with everything we do
But I know now
I can't take this chance away from you
When you love I cry
See the truth I hide
When I'm slowing down
You can keep running for miles
This isn't like me, this isn't like me
