"I Told My World To Go Away" lyrics

I Told My World To Go Away

I grew tired
Of the world
That I was living in
I looked around
And found another world
To take me in

It was bright and new
With skies of blue
Not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world
To go away

This world's not big enough
For both of us
So one of us must go
My memory burns
With unkind words I said

This world's not big enough
So one of us
Must break away and so
I told my world
To go away
And she did

What makes a man
Think that he can
Turn his world away
To wander through
A world that's new
And then return someday

To the one he knew
Was good and true
The one he loved at home?
I ask my world
To take me back
But she won't

This world's not big enough
For both of us
So one of us must go
My memory burns
With unkind words I said

This world's not big enough
So one of us
Must break away and so
I told my world
To go away
And she did
