afraid to hurt

feeling  

a million miles apart

 

where do i start  

when all my thoughts  

are clouded by nightmares  

and daydreams  

of a world  

that feels like a fantasy?

 

how am i supposed to know  

what's ahead?  

where do we go from here  

when we both have different paths?  

how long will this last?

 

it tears me apart  

and i want to tell you everything

 

i want to tell you that

 

i missed every opportunity  

but i became yours  

when i met you first

 

all i am  

and who i've been  

through the worst

 

i don't want to spend my life  

afraid to hurt.

 

separated by town and city,  

a million miles apart

 

a journey, bittersweet  

from the start.

 

i want to tell you everything,

 

and i'll let you in,  

even if it feels like  

we're drifting apart.
