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
