Dan Fogelberg - The Way It Must Be Intro: Baby how could I have been so vain To make you feel like you’re the only one to blame For all these distances and none of this pain Baby how could I have been so blind To presuppose that your needs were just like mine You’ve been a prisoner for a long long time Chorus: ’Cause now you run from me and I will set you free If that’s the way it must be I tried so hard to make you part of me That every time I looked at you I thought I’d see Someone that you could never ever be So full of pride I could not see straight I thought you’d change if’n I could only wait I see the truth now but it’s much too late Chorus: ’Cause now you run from me and I will set you free If that’s the way it must be Bridge: Oh oh oh oh oh how’d it ever get so cold and mean Oh oh oh oh oh is there nothing left but silence in between Oh oh oh oh oh how’d it ever get so cold and mean Oh oh oh oh oh is there nothing left but silence in between Baby how’d we hold on so long To something both of us must have known was wrong We’re either fools or must be terribly strong Chorus: ’Cause now you run from me and I will set you free If that’s the way it must be ’Cause now you run from me and I will set you free If that’s the way it must be ’Cause now you run from me and I will set you free If that’s the way it must be
