Far (Strings Version)

I've had visions

And I've had dreams

Of you leaving me

Again

But when I say "again"

I mean the ones who came before you

And I know phantoms

And I've seen ghosts

They're the ones that hurt the most

'Cause no one stays

They drift away

And it's something I've grown used to

So who do you

Think you are

I want you close

But I'll keep you far

I would let you in

If I could

Oh I wish I could

I wish I could

I've built walls

I have borders

For my protection as much as yours

That's what I tell myself

But when I'm by myself

I know that I am lying

'Cause I have scars

I know how to bleed

From when my heart was wounded upon my sleeve

Oh no, you don't forget

A thing like that

How it feels when you're sure you're dying

So who do you

Think you are

I want you close

But I'll keep you far

I would let you in

If I could

Oh I wish I could

I wish I could

Can the walls come down?

And for how long?

Enough for you to prove me wrong?

Oh I wish you would

How I wish you would

I wish you would

Can the walls come down?

And for how long?

Enough for you to prove me wrong?

Oh I wish you would

How I wish you would

I wish you would
