You broke the news without preamble, it won't be too long before your gone
so give me time to think it through so this is it you're moving on
Maybe its the best thing for you maybe its the hardest way
to stop these things we've set in motion it seems forever yesterday
This must be love for you to give this up.
I know how hard this must be for you.
If this is the way, how it's gotta be
You will get no arguments from me
You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn out right for you
Somewhere in the world there is a better place for you and her to be
I hope you find what you've been looking for I hope you're both happy and
content I'll miss you my friend this is your decision in the end
I envy you you will live a life maybe you can live a life for me
You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn out right for you
Now running away don't want the day to come the years ran by so fast how
could you leave why cant you stay why can a beautiful thing last?
Standing around hearing no sounds hoping the worst of it has past
why cant you stay just one more day why can't a beautiful thing last?
You'll leave the band to be a man so time wont pass you by
you'll find a wife and start a life I hope things turn out right for you
And maybe in a couple of years I will get a call from you
you will tell me bout your life and how your dreams have all come true for you.
