You’re not the man I used to know.
Should I be surprised you let things go?
I should have seen those signs along the way.
You grew a restless heart: It wouldn't stay.


You used to watch me in my sleep:
A glance you wrapped with love so deep.
I never thought I'd ever see this day:
You nursed a fickle gaze--it always strayed.


You will not stay.
I've watched you look away.
I don't know why
Can’t seem to catch your eye
I can’t believe
It's time to leave
Can’t hold my breath
But I will. I will.


Life's not the dream I chose to chase.
Why do you wear a stranger’s face?
The look reserved for me has begun to fade
I hope you won’t forget the role I”ve played


You will not stay
I'll watch you walk away.
You won't know why
You'll never leave my eye.
I’m not naive.
You’ll one day leave
Can’t hold my breath
But I will. For you, I will


You can’t always be the only star in the sky.
You can’t always bask in the sunlight of their eyes
They’ll change their orbit and follow another star
They’ll look way past you
But don’t you feel less than you are


You will not stay
I'll watch you walk away.
You won't know why
You'll never leave my eye.
I’m not naive.
You’ll one day leave
Can’t hold my breath
But I will. I will
