Close Yet Far

Who said that I wasn't right?

I've lived for years without a life

Don't have a soul on my side

Still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried

Don't take me under your wing

I don't need a hand, don't need anything

I've got a roof over my head

As if I'd rather be alone with me instead

Close yet far

Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are

And I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me

Though I never, never, never, ever wanted this to be

I can hear the sounds of the city

Sunrise and set are the same to me

A hesitating pulse is good company

And my reflection offers no apology

But who said that I wasn't right?

I've lived for years without a life

Don't have a soul on my side

Still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried

Close yet far

Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are

And I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me

Though I never, never, never, ever wanted this to be

Close yet far

Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are

I'll think of days when there was something to believe

Though I never, never, never, ever wanted this to be
