Verse 1
I Dreamed Someday We'd Graduate Together
But We're Chasing New Horizons Now
How Could Our Compass Point The Same Direction
When I'm Staying Here And You're Headed South
Pre-Chorus
Know That When You Leave You're Taking Half Of My Heart
But I Want You To Be Happy Even If We Are Apart
Chorus
The Yearbooks Can Separate Us
The Different Paths May Start To Change Us
But I Am Who I Am Because You Are Who You Are
Verse 2
The Moments That We Shared Are Now Just Stories
I Tell Them Now To People Who Weren't There
The Jokes That We Would Laugh About For Hours
I Tell Them Now To People Who Don't Care
Pre-Chorus
Know That When You Leave You're Taking Half Of My Heart
But I Want You To Be Happy Even If We Are Apart
Chorus
The Yearbooks Can Separate Us
The Different Paths May Start To Change Us
But I Am Who I Am Because You Are Who You Are
Bridge
If My Memory Starts To Fade
I'll Recall The Prayers I Prayed
For A Friend To Come My Way
The Connection Was So Deep
Always Genuine And Sweet
And It Means The World To Me
Pre-Chorus
Know That When You Leave You're Taking Half Of My Heart
But I Want You To Be Happy Even If We Are Apart
Chorus
The Yearbooks Can Separate Us
The Different Paths May Start To Change Us
But I Am Who I Am Because You Are Who You Are
Refrain
Oh, I Am Who I Am Because You Are Who You Are
