"So Far Apart" lyrics

If I could wrap my head around
Why you won't hear me now
You tend to break my heart

Keep my eyes closed long enough
Or maybe just wake up
Without us so far apart

Every time I pick you up, you find a way to fall
Don't you know a conversation doesn't mean ignore me?

Like a father living as a ghost
And like a lover leaving when you need them most
And like a son you love, but can't quite reach anymore

If I could figure out what you want from me
I'm always open, you can come on in
Give you room to breathe in hope, that part of you that's so cold
Will melt, and we can be friends again

Every time I feel I'm getting closer, things get worse
But I know how the story goes because you're not the first

You're like a father living as a ghost
And like a lover leaving when you need them most
And like a son you love, but can't quite reach anymore

And even though you're thinking you don't need me
And you're missing out on everything you should know
Like a daughter, I pray
Like a lover, I wait
Like a mother, I'll be here when you fall
