Tina Arena - Sixteen Years lyrics

I'm leaving now

Sixteen years and it comes to this

Parting lines and a final kiss

Your hands are shaking

A cab waits in the rain

Now I've never felt more alone

I can't believe that these days are gone

After all that we've begun

You say you'll be there

I just have to call

Must you choose between

Me and all your dreams

You can be free right here with me

Those sixteen years

Don't they mean anything to you?

How can you leave?

With so much to loose

When you walk away

You're taking the morning from my day

Show me the pain that's inside of you

I need to understand

Sixteen years now my thoughts run wild

How you held me like a child

I'll fight these tears

But I can hide the way I feel

When you find what you want

Isn't it all you need

With you wanna run right back to me

Those sixteen years

Don't they mean anything to you?

How can you leave?

There's so much to loose

Oh, when you walk away

You're taking the morning form my day

Show me the pain that's inside of you

Time moves on

And you'll be gone

And I hold on to the finer things

I need to keep me strong

But one sweet day

We'll put them all away

I'll hope you know that no one stays the same

Those sixteen years

Don't they mean anything to you?

How can you leave?

There's so much to loose, yeah

When you walk away

You're taking the morning from my day

Show me the pain that's inside of you

I need to understand

Someday you'll understand

Yes, you will
