Baby, how could I have been so vain 
To make you think that youre the only one to blame. 
For all these distances and all of this pain 
Baby, how could I have been so blind 
To presuppose that your needs were just like mine 
Youve been a prisoner for a long, long time. 
But now you run from me 
And I will set you free 
If thats the way it must be. 
 
I tried so hard to make you part of me 
That every time I looked at you 
I thought Id see 
Someone that you could never ever be. 
So full of pride that I could not see straight 
I thought youd change 
If I could only wait 
I see the truth now but its much too late 
Cause now you run from me 
And I will set you free 
If thats the way it must be. 
 
Chorus 
Oh--oh--baby howd it ever get so cold and mean 
Oh--oh. is there nothing left but silence in between. 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Baby howd we hold on so long 
To something both of us must have known was wrong 
Were either fools or must be terrible strong. 
Cause now you run from me. 
And I will set you free 
If thats the way it must be.
