Lying here beside you
Might as well be miles away
You can tell I'm crying
But you just turn away
Has it always been like this
It feels like it's been years
You never reach out for me
And kiss away my tears
And here I am alone
With you right by my side
You never see me really
It hurts and I can't hide
This empty aching feeling
Building walls within my heart
You're lying right beside me
But we're miles and miles apart
You're asleep, I hear you breathing
And I get out of bed
Stand staring out the window
Thoughts running through my head
I can't do this anymore
There's an ache that fills my heart
And I can't go on living
Right beside you, miles apart
And here I am alone
With you right by my side
You never see me really
It hurts and I can't hide
This empty aching feeling
Building walls within my heart
You're lying right beside me
But we're miles and miles apart
The sun rises and I'm driving
I don't know where I'll go
Have you seen the note I left
Maybe by now you know
That I've gone and that it's over
Don't want to hurt anymore
I'm tearing down the walls
And today I closed a door
All those years alone
With you right by my side
You never even knew me
I wonder if you tried
I'm better off alone
Tear down the walls within my heart
No I can't go on living
Right beside you, miles apart
I can't go on living
Oh, I can't go on living
No I won't go on living
Right beside you, miles apart
