It's been a lifetime since i told you i care
It took a second, though it felt like a day
I want you closer, closer than you are now
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
If somehow, you feel to complain
I'm here just watching over you
It takes more than assumptions
To make me understand your point
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
Just say something, anything at all
I'm used to i won't take the fall
If somehow you fail
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
Then stay close to me maybe i'll try to take you through
Take you through on another day
Another day...
