Thousand Reasons

It’s been said a million times

Been thrown into a hundred rhymes

Still no one accepts the trend

No one wants to believe

That every good thing comes to an end

Walking away I tried to pretend

Make myself believe that this was a not conclusion

Miles away trying to think of the distance as illusion

But every inch I stray my heart feels de division

Leaving I’m going a thousand miles away

With every mile comes a new reason to stay

Wondering if it was worth parting with yesterday

I only wish there was another way

Because I’m a thousand reasons from you today

 

The nights spent dreaming

The days spent wondering

What could have been?

Some choices you just can’t win

Left the questions itching beneath the skin

And the memories spinning from within

 

Even in this new world so small

When miles can disappear in a phone call

With all the connections I still feel a wall

On the other side who will catch you if you fall

I wish my arms could reach around to you

Cause I’m hurting and I know you are to

 

Leaving I’m going a thousand miles away

With every mile comes a new reason to stay

Wondering if it was worth parting with yesterday

I only wish there was another way

Because I’m a thousand reasons from you today

 

So far away can’t help but ponder

If I’m not around will you remember?

As time goes by it seems I drift further

Emptiness has taken the place of all the little wonders

Insecurities are creeping in closer

Your words have lost there weight

It doesn’t seem hard to believe that you couldn’t wait

Trust falls into thoughts of betrayal

Already excepting what I knew to fail

 

Pleading for trust to return

A faith over distance will burn

With separation betrayal is all I learn

Left behind your left to yearn

Far away you don’t want to lose

The past isn’t a path to chose

Miles have stolen your man

All because of a choice you don’t understand

Loneliness isn’t helping you stand

Stretched to our limit, have we seen our last grain of sand?

 

Living, I’m parting with the past

Every minute comes a new reason to make it last

But there’s no way to turn back

I only wish I could live with that fact

Because we’re a thousand reasons apart today
