Intro

Verse

You've given me a home to sleep tonight

 You've given my hope to stay alive

 I scream at the top of my lungs

 Just to get my way

 And maybe someday I'll finish school

 And be all the things you want me to

 But for now I will travel the world

 and see if it works

Prechorus

I can fight for myself but you need to know

Chorus

Baby, please

 don't run away from me

I know that times are hard

 And if you leave now, life will still go on

And I'll chase my dreams

 But you will never see

That's why this song was made

 Cause you need to know that I'm still the boy you loved

Verse 2

 You've given me strength to be a man

 Even when I could hardly stand

 And now I feel that you need me

 to do the same for you

 Maybe some day I'll straighten up

 But college was never quite enough

 So for now I will travel the world and make it work

Prechorus

I can live on my own but you need to know

Chorus

Baby, please

 don't run away from me

I know that times are hard

 And if you leave now, life will still go on

And I'll chase my dreams

 But you will never see

That's why this song was made

 Cause you need to know that I'm still the boy you loved

Bridge

I know we are on our own

 We're not kids anymore

 We're not kids anymore

 And I know that we're far from home

 We're not kids anymore

 we're not kids anymore
