Once again I find myself so close to you
But you're just out of reach, it's always the same
Looking into your eyes, you're so far away
It's no fun anymore, I'm tired of this game
Never knowing whether my efforts are in vain
You never bring the sunshine without the rain
I cannot bear to tell you what I'm going through
For fear your clear blue waters would turn murky grey
Don't want to lose you yet another day

The time has long since past
The seasons have changed once again
Summer breeze gives way to winter winds
Watching the leaves as they fall
But your shadow lives on
Lingering in my room when it gets late
Even though by now, you're long gone

I didn't see what was in front of me
I watched as the ice and frost took hold
Leaving me alone out in the cold
Happening too fast for me to see
Until the day I gazed into your distant eyes
And heard everything you couldn't bear to say
And finally saw that neither of us could stay

I still don't know if you meant me harm
Stripped of my pride, completely disarmed
All that's left are echoes and whispers
Of what we shared, what we could have been
Drifting away slowly, like clouds in the sky
Until the storms melt away, and I forget the things I've seen

I see you standing before me
Watching my every move
My past has shattered like glass
As you judge all I've done and said
How I wish you could only see
The figure that confronts you
Whenever you gaze into the mirror

Past desires crushed beneath your feet
It's a different story now, nowhere to go
Sometimes I wonder if you once held
A lone candle inside your heart
Or if you merely came to enjoy the show
I realise now that I'll never know

In time your eyes become distant
Slipping away into the recesses of my soul
Going from two of a kind to strangers in the night
Until the day breaks over new shores
And I've left behind all that came before

Sometimes I feel a little frightened
Struggling through, avoid the unenlightened
Close to me I felt as your grip tightened
Until the clouds disappeared and the sky brightened

I've spoken words I shouldn't have said
And withheld the things I should have said
We've seen joy, and tears have been shed
But the fire burns strong, burns bright red

Forever doesn't feel long enough to say
What I really want, I'm not leaving, I'm here to stay
So sublime, only you make me feel this way
Like flowers our love grows, day by day

I see my future laid out before me
The twists and turns in the road
Dizzying heights and terrifying lows
I know I can't change the course now
That's just the way it goes

Some things I'll regret
Some things I'll cherish
Some things I'll never forget
The greatest things, I'll never expect

All the places I've ever been
All the people I've ever seen
Flash by quickly like lightning in the sky
I won't be sad to watch this journey end
As long as you're with me for the final goodbye

So cold
So cold in your eyes
In your arms
Found myself in this state
Tears of joy
Tears of pain
Found myself gone
Vanished without a trace
Caught within your grasp

So lost
So lost in your eyes
In your arms
Feel like I've lost my way
Can't escape
Here to stay
Without all reason
Still stood here waiting
For a day that will never come

I watch you slowly walk away
Walking over the hills and out of sight
I know you don't need me anymore
Life must go on, I need to rebuild
Not a word was said
Only the sound of the wind
Blowing through the trees

I watch you slowly walk away
Walking over the hills out of sight
I know it won't be easy
Running through the forest, hot on my trail
I can't stop now, I can't give up
Feeling like I'm struggling on
Just to survive, to see another day

I watch you slowly walk away
Over the hills out of sight
I'll never see those eyes again
I'll never hear your laugh again
Until the hands of time turn
And there's nothing but a faded picture
Hanging on the wall above my bed
