Lyrics
I looked at you
you turned away
you took so much time
To keep me far away
The scene the crowd
You laugh out loud
Why' d you try so long and hard for my presence to be at bay
I see you now
I can't see how
I did something wrong
you won't talk to me now
Do I really deserve
Does my memory serve
Now I am wide awake
You're so far from me somehow.
I looked toward you, but you simply looked away
Why can't I be with you in the netherworld?
I run toward you but you're still so far away
Why can't I reach you here in the netherworld?
As my day goes by
I wonder why
I need to connect to you
At least I know I try
I take a drink
To blow off steam
Because I know full well
You are still only a dream
Any thoughts I have
I try to keep
I can only see you
At night when I sleep
Were you ever there
Are you in in my head
All traces vanish
when I wake from my bed.
Placed before me
A back story
I just can't unlock my mind
I did something
You just can't forgive
I just can't get through
There really is no truth
