Won't see things my way
But maybe with distance
You'll hold onto better days
I won't ask your forgiveness
I just want you to know
Oh, Charlie, I love you
That's why I must go
There's a darkness inside me
That you should never know
Dear Charlie, I can't be
The man you need me to be
I will only destroy you
Trying to find a release
I won't ask your forgiveness
I just want you to know
Oh, Charlie, I love you
That's why I must go
There's a darkness inside me
That you should never know
Dear Charlie, please know that
I want with all my heart
To see you grow older
And always take your part
I won't ask your forgiveness
I just want you to know
Oh, Charlie, I love you
That's why I must go
There's a darkness inside me
That you should never know
