Leaving You
Lyrics (c) by Fox Lee 1998 (http://foxlee.arts-eclectic.com)

Verse 1
You know I never really realised all the things that you could be
'Til I'd seen you through somebody else's eyes,
Tried to put aside my feelings, left my vision unobscured
By the cloudy grey the cynic calls the sky

And I'm sorry that I let myself hold on to you so long,
'Cause you're more than I could ever, ever be,
I guess it's all that I can do to try and make it up to you,
And ask you to forget all that was me,

Chorus
'Cause I've finally admitted that I'll never reach that far,
I can string some words together, but I'll never be a star,
I was never meant to hold someone as beautiful as you,
So I hope you can forgive me for leaving you,

Verse 3
Maybe destiny is only a creation of the mind,
And your future's in the passing of the test,
Maybe love is just a picture painted by a foolish child,
But then, sometimes children understand the best,

I don't have all the answers, I don't think I ever will,
But here comes my chance to prove what love can mean,
And although I know I'll miss you I could never shed a tear,
Just knowing that my going sets you free

Repeat chorus

Bridge
And I don't know if the world knows, and I don't think that it cares,
And I don't like naming names, but it's too late because I'm there,
And although it took me so long, now I know the world was right,
So this wanderer's not coming home tonight...

Chorus 2 (extended)
Yeah I've finally admitted that I'll never reach that far,
I can string some words together, I can strum on my guitar,
I could say it doesn't hurt me, then try to hide the scars,
And I could hold you back forever, but forever's not that far,
And you can be a star...
I was never meant to hold someone as beautiful as you,
So I hope you understand, I'm leaving you,

Repeat Chorus 2 to fade
