pictures from afar

(You're a million miles away)

Weekends turn to months apart
And now I'm sleeping
When you're just waking up
But now I'm wondering
What you're doing where you are
And I'm so guilty
'Cause I'm not there

If you think I'm fine without you
That I'm okay alone
I'll carry the lessons that you gave me
Everywhere I go
I wish you could fill the missing pieces
That you'd be at my shows
I know it hurts you more to tell me that you won't

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
I'm still the person that you wanted me to be
I wanna hold you and tell you
That you are not alone
From now I know you'll watch me through the screen
But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar

(You're a million miles away)

Sun's going down
And I'm waiting for a shooting star to cross the sky
I don't believe it but I have to try
Lighting the sky, do you know me by now?
I'll still be hoping you'll hear me somehow (do you hear me?)

Crying alone, tell me you're coming home
I know it hurts you more to tell me that you won't

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
I'm still the person that you wanted me to be
I want to hold you and tell you
That you are not alone (you are not alone)
From now I know you'll watch me through the screen (I know you'll watch me)

But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar

Some days I cry
Some days I'm hurting
But you're a million miles away
So I'll keep praying

Some days I cry (some days I cry)
Some days I'm hurting (some days I'm hurting)
But you're a million miles away
So I'll keep praying
Some days I cry
Some days I'm hurting
But you're a million miles away

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
Now I'm the person that you wanted me to be
I want to hold you and tell you
That you are not alone
From now I know you'll watch me through the screen
But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar
