A canyon between us
A thousand miles wide
I wish I could change this
To be by your side
A valley that’s so deep
And keeps us apart
I wish I could fill it
And rebuild our hearts
But the bridge was broken
And all the pieces were lost
I wish we could save it
But at what cost
Our words seem to fail
They’re taken by wind
Carried far away
Stripped away and thinned
You’re too far out of sight
Just a shadow to a cloud
I want to get to you
I want to make you proud
I throw rocks at you
It’s my way to talk
My message is hidden
Like the works of a clock
I hide what I mean
Because I am scared
That if you knew me
You’d think I’m impaired
But I’ll keep tossing my rocks
Hoping you’ll throw back
So we can fix this bridge
Crack by crack

Sometimes you have a really bad relationship with someone and you try really hard to fix it and you talk things out and it seems like the bridge between you it fix but there's always these cracks in it so that it can never go back to the way it was.
