Als Je Zomaar Weg Zou Gaan

Now that the words between us
Have been said so many times
And there's still a question
That remains unanswered
Now after all these long years
There's still no end in sight
To all the little doubts
That you were trapped in

Now you wanted to protect me
With your arms closed tight
And you never really understood
How simple everything was
That I truly loved you
Just sometimes wanted to taste my freedom
And out of fear of losing me
You quickly and thoughtlessly said
If you keep this up, I'm out
I wonder what I would do
If you just walked away

I never made you, my wife
Believe only in me
Because there was still so much
To do outside of us
You could be as free as you wanted
You could always come to me
Because being jealous is a game
I never wanted to play

Did I ask for so much
If I just wanted to be myself?
Why all those big words?
It can't go on like this
Oh, you have to be honest
It's good to live together
We just need a little time
For all the foolish misunderstandings
Can't it really be that you stay?
Because I wonder what I would do
If you just walked away

And if the hour ever comes
When you leave me for good
Then I'll quietly and without resentment
Let you go willingly
Because it really makes no sense
To hate you for that
We were friends and it's okay
To part this way

Maybe on that day I'll pretend
That it doesn't bother me much
I probably won't ask you
To see you again
But all those years together
Could I ever forget that?
Maybe living then is so good
To feel a bit freer again
Maybe I'll miss you
Oh, I wonder what I would do
If you just walked away
