Dan Fogelberg Lyrics for Song: The Way It Must Be
 Lyrics for Album: Exiles [1987]
 
 
 
 26919>Baby, how could I have been so vain
 
 To make you feel 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
 
 
 
 '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 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
 
 
 
 Oh oh
 
 How'd it ever get so cold and mean
 
 Oh oh
 
 Is there nothing left but silence in between
 
 
 
 Oh oh
 
 How'd it ever get so cold and mean
 
 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 terrible strong
 
 
 
 '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
