This east was such a great place until you went out west
And I knew, I knew that something I could not progress
For you have taught everything that I know
And you have given me everthing I have to show

Why does it always have to be this way between you and me?
Why does it always have to be?

I'm here and you took everything that I had
And now all of my good days have turned to bad
The birds, they all flew west with you and the river streams
The only time i see you is running in a dream

Why does it always have to be this way between you and me?
Why does it always have to be?
