Away From You
I might take a shot if the feeling strikes
cuz I don't want to say the things I have to say to you tonight.
We've been drifting apart the past couple months
and I have visions of a future, but I don't see us.
I know nothing is permanent, but I thought maybe we had a chance.
Now I see every step that brought us here,
and I saw the lights burn out by our fear.
A fear of love, the fear of life instilled in us.
The fear that drove me so far away.
Away from you.
Here we are in your living room,
the silence is awful and I hate it so much.
I swear something good will come of this,
and you got up and walked out of the door.
I see every step that brought us here,
and I saw the lights burn out by our fear.
A fear of love, the fear of life instilled in us.
The fear that drove me so far away.
Away from you.
There you were, bright as ever.
You started walking towards me.
I should have stopped and said "how are you?"
but you I just ran away.
