I'm leaving now
  Sixteen years and comes to this
  Parting lines and a final kiss
  Your hands are shaking
  A cab waits in the rain
  Now I've never felt more alone
  I can't believe that these days are gone
  After all that we've begun
  You say you'll be there
  I just have to call
  Must you choose between
  Me and all your dreams
  When you can be free right here with me
  Those sixteen years
  Don't they mean anything to you
  How can you leave
  With so much to loose
  When you walk away
  You're taking the morning from my day
  Show me the pain
  That's inside of you
  I need to understand
  Sixteen years now my thoughts run wild
  How you held me like a child
  I'll fight these tears
  But I can hide the way I feel
  When you find what you want
  Isn't it all you need
  With you wanna run right back to me
  Those sixteen years
  Don't they mean anything to you
  How can you leave
  There's so much to loose
  Oh when you walk away
  You're taking the morning form my day
  Show me the pain that's inside of you
  Time moves on
  And you'll be gone
  And I hold on to the finer things
  I need to keep me strong
  But one sweet day
  We'll put them all away
  I'll hope you know that no one stays the same
  Those sixteen years
  Don't they mean anything to you
  How can you leave
  There's so much to loose
  Yeah
  When you walk away
  You're taking the morning from my day
  Show me the pain that's inside of you
  I need to understand
  Someday you'll understand
  Yes you will
