"Because You Asked" Lyrics

You gave me a home to sleep tonight
You've given me hope to stay alive
I'd scream at the top of my lungs just to get my way
And maybe someday I'll finish school
And be all the things you want me to
But for now I will travel the world and see if it works

I can fight for myself but you need to know

Baby please, don't run away from me
I know that times are hard and if you leave now life will still go on
And I'Il chase my dreams, but you will never see
That's why this song was made
Cause you need to know that I'm still the boy you loved

You've given me strength to be a man,
even when I could hardly stand
And now I feel you need me to do the same for you
Maybe someday I'll straighten up
But college was never quite enough
So for now I will travel the world, and make it work

I can live on my own but you need to know.

Baby please, don't run away from me
I know that times are hard and if you leave now life will still go on
And I'Il chase my dreams, but you will never see,
That's why this song was made
Cause you need to know I'm still the boy you loved

I know, we are on our own,
we're not kids anymore, we're not kids anymore
And I know, we are far from home,
we're not kids anymore, we're not kids anymore
