Walking Away

I can't believe you're leaving after all this time.
I thought everything was fine,
so why you got me crying, broken and dying inside?
I wanted it to work, and I swear I tried,
but nothing I ever said could change the way you feel about you and I.
Remember all those talks we used to have about sharing a future?
A white pickett fence, a dog and a cat, and two kids to nurture?
Or washing our clothes together down at the laundromat?
What happened to that? And when did you get so sad?
This ain't a personal attack, I just want to know, really, I do.
How can you leave me after all that we've been through?

Girl, I wish you didn't feel this way,
and I wish there was something to say to make you stay.
And I wish I knew what to do to make us OK,
and I wish you weren't walking away.

Well, don't you remember that cold December of '96
when we were just kids
and fell in love with each other after our first kiss?
Or how I held you in my arms and kept you safe from harm?
You said we'd be together and take care of each other forever.
It's been five long years and now you're leaving,
got me believing it was all worth nothing and crying tears.
Didn't I give you enough? Man, I thought we were in love.
Didn't you once believe that I was the guy who you always dreamed of?
Let's try to work things out and try to see this through.
Come on, please. Don't you know how much I need you?
I need you.

Girl, I wish you didn't feel this way,
and I wish there was something I could say to make you stay.
And I wish I knew what to do to make us OK,
and I wish you weren't walking away.
