not going to stop you

leaving is the only way of knowing

the only way that we can both be sure

i won't be the reason you stop growing

i know there's something there beyond our door

loving you hasn't always been simple

all the things i feel i can't explain

my heart won't like the choices i'll be making

but if you were in my place you'd do the same

so go on your way

i'm not going to stop you

my love

won't ask you to stay

i'm not going to stop you

my love

my love

you would buy the ocean just to save me

hold me through a flood or ice or flames

you'd hang up the stars to see me happy

now's a chance to show i feel the same

so go on your way

i'm not going to stop you

my love

won't ask you to stay

i'm not going to stop you

my love

they say if it's yours

you don't have to keep it

held so tight

so i'm going to learn to let go and watch while

you take flight

so go on your way

i'm not going to stop you

my love

won't ask you to stay

i'm not going to stop you

my love

if my heart should break

i'm not going to stop you

my love

so go on your way

i'm not going to stop you

my love

my love
