Leaving is the only way of knowing
The only way that we can both be sure
I won't be the reason you stop growing
I know there's something there beyond our door

Loving you hasn't always been simple
All the things I feel I can't explain
My heart won't like the choices I'll be making
But if you were in my place you'd do the same

So go on your way
I'm not going to stop you, my love
Won't ask you to stay
I'm not going to stop you, my love
My love

You would buy the ocean just to save me
Hold me through a flood or ice or flames
You'd hang up the stars to see me happy
Now's a chance to show I feel the same

So go on your way
I'm not going to stop you, my love
Won't ask you to stay
I'm not going to stop you, my love

They say if it's yours, you don't have to keep it
Held so tight
So I'm going to learn to let go and watch while
You take flight

So go on your way
I'm not going to stop you, my love
Won't ask you to stay
I'm not going to stop you, my love
If my heart should break
I'm not going to stop you, my love
So go on your way
I'm not going to stop you, my love
My love
