You lie there asleep so lovely - light sneaks through the window
Above us the moon and stars dance across the sky
Quietly packing my bags I go
Unable to tell you this is goodbye

Chasing a dream you said was too much of a burden
And you let it slip away so you could stay with me
My love's become your prison
So I must leave to set you free

It's time to move on - I've got to leave so you can fly away
It's time to move on - don't think of me
Promise you won't look back
Just push ahead and one day soon you'll find
You've become the star that you were meant to be

I'm driving away my eyes are full - my life is empty
And where I'm headed - I haven't got a clue
But I keep rolling down the highway, although my heart is breaking
'Cause with every moment, I'm farther from you

Now that I know you'd sacrifice your dreams for me
Should it fill my heart with pride?
Sometimes love is a cage that you cannot see
How can I keep you locked inside?

Thinking 'bout my life before we came together
Full of bravado, I tried to be a man
In every way and by any measure
You made me better than I really am

It's time to move on - I've got to leave so you can fly away
It's time to move on - don't think of me
Promise you won't look back
Just push ahead and one day soon you'll find
You've become the star that you were meant to be
