I've been down this road before
I walk out the door
Leave you on the floor
Sometimes you run and hide
Your foolish pride's
What keeps me from
Giving you more
So the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
Cause you got growing up to do
Someday I'll return when its time
For payment in kind
The church bells will chime
You'll stand before me surrounded by lights
Dressed in white
You throw flowers in the air this night
But the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
Looks like the rain's pouring down on me
It's drowning me now
And all I want is to come back home
And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry
But I can't think of what else to try
That's why the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
Yeah, the best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
