You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

[Chorus:]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death you face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

[Chorus]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth

I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming

[Chorus]
Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

We started out simple friends
That kind of friendship never ends, no baby
But we were fortunate to care enough
We knew just where we stood
But soon as love appeared
You turned away
And you were so unsure and so afraid
Of feeling what I was feeling
You were scared that love
Would blow your heart away
And you were certain that
In time my love would stray

Where, where will you go
And who, who's gonna love you like I do
Where, where will you go
And who's gonna love like I do

What kind of friends could we have been
If we had kept the feelings in
When we had made a vow to be the friends
We were since we began
But soon as love appeared
You turned away
And you were so unsure and so afraid
Of feeling what I was feeling
You were scared that love
Would blow your heart away
And you were certain that
In time my love
You were thinkin' that our love was gonna stray
Oh tell me

Where, where will you go
And who, who's gonna love you baby
The way that I do, now baby
Where, where will you go, where will you go
And tell me who is gonna love
I wanna know who is gonna love
I need to know who's gonna love
Who's gonna love, who, who, who, oh

Where, where will you go, baby
Who's gonna love you baby, tell me
Who's gonna care for you baby
Who's gonna be there for you baby
Who's gonna love you like you need to be loved
Oh where will you go, baby
And who's gonna love you like I do

Oh I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
Like I do

You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you want to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries before the dawn

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape, you can't escape

You think I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape, you don't want to escape

I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper, but you can't even hear me screaming

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape, you won't escape
You can't escape, you don't want to escape

You?re too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You?re the one who cries when you?re alone

[CHORUS:]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can?t escape
You can?t escape

You think that I can?t see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You?re left to face yourself alone

[Chorus]

I realize you?re afraid
But you can?t abandon everyone
You can?t escape
You don?t want to escape

I?m so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can?t live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can?t even hear me screaming

[Chorus]

I realize you?re afraid
But you can?t reject the whole world
You can?t escape
You won?t escape
You can?t escape
You don?t want to escape
