You  gave  me  a  home  to  sleep  tonight.

You've  given  me  hope  to  stay  alive.

I'd  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.

I  can  fight  for  myself  but  you  need  to  know

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.

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  someday  I'll  straighten  up,

But  college  was  never  quite  enough,

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

I  can  live  on  my  own  but  you  need  to  know

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.

I  know  we  are  on  our  own.

We're  not  kids  anymore.

We're  not  kids  anymore.

And  I  know  we  are  far  from  home.

We're  not  kids  anymore.

We're  not  kids  anymore.
