Solitary

Well, it's such an old cliche but I guess it's true
They say that you never know what you have 'til it's gone
It gets hard to hold on
When the only way is to let you walk away
And I know you're worth the fight
But, sometimes I wonder if I might be better off alone
And yes, I know I can be cold
And colder still the more the distance grows
Is it all just in my head?
Self-made misery and dread
Tell myself to keep the faith, but sometimes I still wonder...
Now I know - no, it's not the same
You never could let go
Say you've gone nowhere, that you still care
But when I reach for you, you're just not there
And I can't wait around for you to see I'm right here
So what does it mean to love?
To accept the things that you can never change
And be glad you have enough
Of the pieces that do seem to fit in place
But that's easier said than done
When my stories start to run
Tell myself to keep the faith, but sometimes I still wonder...
Now I know - no, it's not the same
You never could let go
Say you've gone nowhere, that you still care
But when I reach for you-
You're just not there
And I can't wait... I can't wait
No, don't go! Now I take it back, you can't just walk away
Say you've gone nowhere, that you still care
And when I reach for you- just be there
Hear through my frightened words and know that I'm right here
