The Way It Must Be

Baby, how could I have been so vain To make you think that you're the only one to blame. For all these distances and all of this pain Baby, how could I have been so blind To presuppose that your needs were just like mine You've been a prisoner for a long, long time. But now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. I tried so hard to make you part of me That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see Someone that you could never ever be. So full of pride that I could not see straight I thought you'd change If I could only wait I see the truth now but it's much too late Cause now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. Chorus Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between. (Repeat Chorus) Baby how'd we hold on so long To something both of us must have known was wrong We're either fools or must be terrible strong. Cause now you run from me. And I will set you free If that's the way it must be.
