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
