Separate Ways

I know what it feels like? To look ahead for someone to reach back for me To wake up everyday and wonder "why? how could this have happened before I had the chance to say otherwise?" You know what it feels like? To see the rest of your life flash before your eyes? To hear the words to make your heart fall back a beat? Because if the feeling wasn't there, it's a wonder you feel anything at all I know you're listening Tonight's the night we go our separate ways I can't hold on to what it feels like instead of having you here by my side I know I can't say anything to put you here I'm doing all that I can do, and I'll try to keep you closer to my heart I know what it feels like to know you Don't have what it takes to stay And I thank god everyday for taking all unnecessary things And moving them way out of my way I know you're listening Tonight's the night we go our separate ways I can't keep holding on so you can stay Tonight's the night we go our separate ways You'll thank me someday You've got control of my heartdon't set it into the sun I know you're listening
