You're somehow near but far And it sometimes feels like watching a stranger I don't know who you are But it's plain to see you're suppressing the anger Can't stand my own resistance This certain feel of anxiety You're longing for independence You're reaching out for liberty You're somehow near but far I'm searching for the words But how could I explain Although the pain still hurts I know that something bitter sweet remains After the love is gone And the heartache is over And will I be moving on Or will I be missing you? How could it come to this? What began as spring is now permanent winter Hour to hour It's hit or miss And the ice that we dance on is starting to splinter Could this just be a phase Or a testament we're bound to fail? I'm longing for better days And I wonder what will tip the scales And if I close my eyes, I feel that we have changed And something slowly dies - ain't It bitter sweet? Oh, isn't it a shame?
