You can take me away from my sorrow

but you can't take away my scars

I stand in the middle of the highway

playing chicken with the cars

It's not that I'm destructive I

just want to feel your pain

Chorus:

If there was any way I could have known

I would trip and fall away from you

If there was anything I could have done

to stay in love with you - with you

I wish I could say to you what you are to me

but I know it would make you sad

You are too good to be my lover

but you've been the greatest dad

I ever had

You made my life so lovely I

just had to mess it up

If there was any way I could have known

I would always need to be alone

If there was anything I could have done

to stay in love with you

with you

If I knew I'd do it twice just to make sure that

I did it right

If there was any way I could have known

I would always need to be alone

If there was anything I could have done

to stay in love with you

with you
