Carole King - Growing Away From Me lyrics

You've been my life to me

My very soul and my heart

But lately something's come over you

And it's tearing me apart

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

Even though you say you love me

The feeling's no longer there

I know there's somebody else

And it's more than I can bear

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

Believe me, I would let you go if I could

But I don't know if it's worse being lonely

Than having you here in body only

It's no use pretending

When the love you used to feel is gone

Yet even though I'm losing you

I can't help trying to hold on

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

I feel you growing away from me
