whoever told you life would be easy
whoever said things will always go your way
in this endless game of win and loose
so many loved ones just fade away

oh I can’t stay with you
oh I can’t stay with you

once I laid my heart into uncaring hands
I watched the cruel one take it from me
now I hear you say I am your only one
but more than love I must be free

when I say to you forever stay with me
forever may mean just one day
nobody wants to be held down
the tighter you cling to me the faster I go away

love me now
tomorrow may never come
who you think you know isn’t really me
a restless heart calls
and I go away
