I remember when you set me free
I recall it wasn’t ment to be
But I don’t know how
We could have stayed together

I remember how you cried that night
I wish I could have been there just to hold you tight
But I don’t know how
Things just when on and on and on ….

So the time went by and I don’t why
I never told you why I did it
But I guess you know that it hurt me so
And I regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how

Now it’s time for me to leave behind
The thoughts that I have kept in my mind
I’ve lived to learn
that things will only get better

As you told me, when I was a boy
Life is filled with happiness, sorrow and joy
I’m sure you see
I remember the things you told me

And I promise you now, I will live somehow
and bring the message that you gave me
Pass along those words, even though it hurts
I won’t regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how
