Even the strongest wind couldn't keep me away
as I stay and I pray but nothing really helps.
It's times like these when everything falls apart
When we drift apart but somehow still stay the say.
And you say
That it will all get better,
You always say
That it will be all right.
So how come I feel the darkness getting hold of me?
How is it that you always stand in the sunshine?
Hey, don't ever change,
I can't ask you to be someone else.

Words are spoken with the illusion of care
But they feel so hollow; I cannot break the chains.
And it's times like these that I always act so
not-like-myself
When we're so far away; we're never stay the same.
And you say
That will all get better,
You keep saying
That it will all be all right.
So how come I feel the cold eating through my bone?
How is it that you still feel so warm?
Hey, don't you stay,
I can't ask you to be here when there's no one else.

It's so hard to be far and love from a distance,
It's so hard to get close and be near when you care.
I apologize if I've gone too far,
But the distance makes all the difference.

But I still care,
I still love,
But between you and me and the stars:
It just doesn't feel the same.

And you say
That it's getting better,
And you keep insisting
That it's all all-right.
So how come I feel the darkness getting hold of me?
How is it that you always shine?
Hey, I don't need anything
But will it be a lot to ask from you to just pretend?
Please, don't get me wrong,
But the illusion feels much better than this.
