"Far From Me" lyrics

"Far From Me"

You say you want to try again, wear it down between the lines
Well, I have a better end in mind

It doesn't seem you really have to
Close your eyes to see though I know you don't mean to be
You are so far from me

There was something I had caught inside screaming hard to make it go
And tied me down low

It doesn't seem you really have to
Close your eyes to see, you've been all you'll be to me
Though I know you don't mean to be, it's just too late
And we can't relate at all

It doesn't seem you really have to
Close your eyes to see though I know you don't mean to be
You are so far from me

This is the last time I want to say so long
This song is my last song for you
There's just nothing here to hold on to
Baby, nothing to hold on to
