I know, I know, you just want to say, "goodbye."
But I really would like...to give us one more try.
"Cause bein' with you...is such a happy high,
that I'd like to be with you...until the day I die.

I know, I know, we can't go back...to what we had back then,
but I know I am better...than I've ever been.
Do you want to take a chance...and get to know the "new me?"
Or are you solidly set....on setting me free?


I THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD WALK ON WATER,
AND YOU THOUGHT I COULD DO THE SAME
THEN WE BOTH DID THINGS... THAT WE HADN'T OF OUGHT TO
AND CALLED EACH OTHER NAMES.... THAT REALLY WEREN'T OUR NAME

NOW I KNOW YOU THINK
I'M A BIG OL' CLUTZ
AND YOU RIGHTFULLY TOLD ME
THAT I WAS NUTS
I ACCEPT IT ALL... 'CAUSE IT ALL WAS TRUE
BUT WHAT ABOUT.... "THIS NEW ME", THAT'S PLEADING WITH YOU?

YES, I KNOW I STUMBLED...
ALOT... AROUND YOU.
AND THAT I STARTED CHANGIN' LATE...
IS PAINFULLY TRUE.
BUT I REALLY WAS DOING
THE BEST I COULD DO
GETTING RID OF THE OLD
AND BEGINNING THE NEW.

WELL... I'VE LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF
AND IT HASN'T BEEN EASY
AND SOMETIMES THE KNOWIN'
HAS MADE ME... DOWNRIGHT QUEASY
BUT I AM... A BETTER PERSON
THAN I HAVE.... EVER BEEN
AND THE LESSONS KEEP ON COMING
EVER' DAY THEY START AGAIN

I know, I know, you just want to say, "goodbye."
But couldn't we just give...us... one more try?
Honey, bein' with you..has been a happy high,
and I'd like to be with you....until the day I die.

I know, I know, we can't go back to what we had back then,
but I know I am better...than I have ever been.
Are you willing, are you willing...to get to know..."the new me?"
Or are you solidly set....on setting me free?

(very slowly)
Are you willing....are you willing....
to get to know...."the new me?"
Or are you soldily set....on setting me free?

Are you solidly set....on setting me free?
