There's a lot that he left behind A lot of things that he'd rather not mention And he can't bear to speak her name, anymore Her voice ringing in his ears, but it's only silence Still, he swears there's nothing up, that nothing's wrong But, everything is so damned wrong And he can't figure out exactly how to make things right He knows all his good intentions don't mean a thing Considering all that he has done, or not done... She still talks about him to her friends As they all try to figure out what went wrong Each of them knowing that she still aches inside Though her smile is bright, her heart is dim... She cries alone, in the dark, as to not upset the facade The illusions now are few, but well made, almost solid Almost real... He's picked up the phone, a thousand times, to call her Just to hear her voice,see if she's okay, ask about her life But, mostly he just wants to hear her voice He doesn't have the courage, he calls, and hangs up Too scared to leave a message,not really knowing what to say Oh, he'd give just about anything to hold her one more time The only problem is the distance from here to there From him to her... There's all sorts of things in his way, mostly it's just him Tripping over himself, getting in his own way 'Cause if he just opened up his eyes, for once He'd see her hand outstreched, even now Distance be damned...she misses him, as he misses her There's just 1,000 miles in their way, so what? There has to be a way, a way to work it all out... |
