On Different Roads

I can see the place your standing
I can see the road before you
I can give you maps and atlases
I can tell you what's to come

But I can't take way the heartache and the pain
There's nothing I can do or say to help you smile again
It's not that I'm unfeeling when I say that you must leave me
But we must face the future and it lies on different roads

Nothing lasts forever baby nothing ever will
It's a little bit of medicine and it's a bitter pill
The time has come for parting, there's lots of new worlds waiting
And I loved you well enough to know that you'll make out all right

But I can't take away …

I can see the place …

But I can't take away …
