Run a Little Faster, I Don't want to Catch Up...

You're finally living your life,
& just for you,
I'll pretend that I'm happy.
Go ahead and run away,
just like we both knew you always would.
You couldn't deny that forever.
I'll stand here and watch you go,
I won't say a word,
just for you.
& when you take that last step,
when I can't see your bright green eyes anymore,
I'll try and forget how you told me,
you'd always be here.
I'll try to forget everything you ever said,
just for you.
Maybe some thing's were better off left alone,
I hope you have fun,
running around with her.
& when you get bored,
maybe you'll be looking to the place I always was,
but, I'll be long gone...
Just for you.
You're better as a memory,
than you ever were my man.
You're just a dreamer,
& nothing more.
But what happens when the innocents fades,
& you're left with skies of gray?
I won't be there to fall back on,
I'm leaving us behind,
just for me.
