[Verse 1]
I can't take you with me where I'm goin'
In me, there's a new love that has growin'
So now I leave behind all that once was mine
I can't take you with me where I'm goin'

[Verse 2]
I can't take you with me and that's for certain
Anchored to some heavy red stage curtain
I should hear you sing
Those words would just make me sting
I can't take you with me and that's for certain

[Verse 3]
I can't take you with me now, I know it
Though the love was in me, I didn't show it
I found in Berlin who I swore might be my twin
Taken from me without me ever knowin'

[Verse 4]
You can't take me with you where you're goin'
You've got no intentions of ever slowin'
My book of babies' names only does fan the flames
I dreamt we had a boy and named him Owen
