The Way It Must Be Lyrics - High Country Snows/exiles - Dan Fogelberg

Baby, how could I have been so vain 

To make you think that you're the only one to blame. 

For all these distances and all 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. 

But 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 that I could not see straight 

I thought you'd change 

If I could only wait 

I see the truth now but it's much too late 

Cause now you run from me 

And I will set you free 

If that's the way it must be. 

Chorus 

Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean 

Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between. 

(Repeat Chorus)

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 terrible strong. 

Cause now you run from me. 

And I will set you free 

If that's the way it must be.
