Saga - Not This Way (Chapter 10) Lyrics

It wasn't that long ago
that I would lift you up and hold you
It seems like a thousand years
that I have watched you on your own
I was never that far away,
I know that you felt that it was over
No reason to be afraid,
I always had my eye on you
You know I wanted to help you start over
but not this way
You know I wanted to help you believe me
but not this way
You want to be on your own,
but you still need me here to listen
And in the last fifty years
you haven't had a lot to say
I know that the air you breathe
is weighted down with information
How do you sleep at night
you're just hearing what you want to hear
You know I wanted to help you start over
but not this way
You know I wanted to help you believe me
but not this way
You know I wanted to help you
But not this way
