lyrics

SEPARATE WAYS
Separate ways, separate ways
To leave and not to see you anymore
Slip away, slip away
Will you throw away the key

Knowing all you meant to me how can you leave me this way?
So far from you with so much left to say
But you won’t talk to me, or let me know what’s on your mind
But I’d give anything to make you stay
I’d give anything if you would never go away

Separate ways, separate ways
To leave and not to see you anymore
Slip away, slip away
Will you throw away the key and lock the door

For all our dreaming, you go and throw it all away
You know, dreams alone won’t get you very far
This guy you’re leaving with, will he make them all come true
Or is he just a place to go after the bar?
Is that what’s you’ve been after, Girl, whatcha really leaving for?

Separate ways, separate ways
To leave and not to see you anymore
Slip away, slip away
Will you throw away the key

Separate ways, separate ways
To leave and not to see you anymore
Slip away, slip away
Will you throw away the key
I it him or is it me?
Will you throw away the key and lock the door
