Saga - Not this way

It wasn't that long ago that I would lift you up and hold you It seems like a thousand years that I have watched you on your own I was never that far away, I know that you felt that it was over No reason to be afraid, I always had my eye on you You know I wanted to help you start over but not this way You know I wanted to help you believe me but not this way You want to be on your own, but you still need me here to listen And in the last fifty years you haven't had a lot to say I know that the air you breathe is weighted down with information How do you sleep at night you're just hearing what you want to hear You know I wanted to help you start over but not this way You know I wanted to help you believe me but not this way You know I wanted to help you But not this way
