Before (Further From You)

by CaffeineBomb   Sep 13, 2007


Heartache creeps to touch my shoulder
Turn me round and force his way inside
It's never any easier, the day grows colder
And it's always getting harder to hide

Loneliness knows something I don't
At every corner she waits with a smile
Stares like I'm her next posession to own
And it's always getting harder to hide

I'm lost and now I've lost it all

I'd gotten close to that before
I tried to lose it all before
I'd always stopped myself before
But now I've lost it all

Pain has always been a friend of mine
To bring me down like most friends do
Sits with me and lets me bleed
And they always take me further from you

Anger keeps his distance most of the time
His presence felt as he burns for the truth
The day grows colder as the sun no longer shines
And it always takes me further from you

You rip it up and I throw it away

I'd gotten close to you before
I tried to lose you once before
You'd always stopped me short before
But now I've lost it all

Some people
Some people hate to think of themselves
Some people
Some people hate to think of themselves
Some people hate to think of themselves
Some people hate the failures they are
Some people wish they'd never been born
And then nobody's safe for long

I'd gotten close to that before
I've tried to lose it all before
But I'd always stopped just before
I stopped for good
I realised I'd never lived before
And all the many times I'd cried before
Were better than if I died before
I'd had the chance to live
