Fortres Of Solitude

verse 1: i don’t want you to give it all up and leave your own life
collecting dust. and i don’t want you to feel sorry for me. you never gave
us a chance to be. and i don’t need you to be by my side to tell me that
everything’s alright. i just wanted you to tell me the truth. you know i’d
do that for you.

chorus: why are you running away?

verse 2: ‘ cause i did enough to show you that i was willing to give and
sacrifice. and i was the one who was lifting you up when you thought your
life had had enough. and when i get close you turn away. there’s nothing
that i can do or say. so now i need you to tell me the truth. you know i’d
do that for you.

repeat chorus

bridge: is it me? is it you? nothing that i can do to make you change your
mind. is it me? is it you? nothing that i can do. is it a waste of time?

last chorus: so why are you running away? what is it i have to say to make
you admit you’re afraid? why are you running away?

You and I we were one
And I swore I’d stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end - my friend
Now its time to move on
But don’t think that this is easy
‘Cos it’s hard to be leaving you behind
But you will be fine

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I wont be here tomorrow
Somewhere I gotta be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
Cause I can hear the angels calling
Angels callin’ for me

Does it help if I say
That I’m really truly sorry
And that I never meant for it to end - this way
There’s a place in your heart
Where you know you’ll always fid me
And I’ll be wherever you are
Near or far

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I wont be here tomorrow
Somewhere I gotta be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
Cause I can hear the angels calling
Angels callin’ for me

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I wont be here tomorrow
Somewhere I gotta be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
Cause I can hear the angels calling
Angels callin’ for me

But you and I, we were one
And I swore I’d stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end - my friend.
