(words & music by Harlan Collins)

I never knew I would need to leave you

How could I know we would part as we grow

Far from the past, days filled with laughter

Turned to tears after the show

Now I have to

Go away

It's gonna hurt when I

Go away

I must desert you, girl

who can say

Maybe it's better this way

Hold back the sun 'cause there's night in your eyes

We have begun what we can't realize

Once this was pure, now I'm not so sure

We've had to weather some lies

Now no more alibis

Go away

It's gonna hurt when I

Go away

I must desert you, girl

who can say

Maybe it's better this way
