Away

Forgive my sins
I've always been the one that gets caught up
This mess we're in
A sea change and I couldn't keep
And when you passed me by
I struggled with the why
No more eye to eye
It never happened

I couldn't reach you
You were so far away
I can't undo it
Take the past away
And if I could
I would wipe your scars away
I'd trade the pain for you
But you're always so far

The same each time
The words just never seem to come out right
For auld lang syne
I can't forget no matter how I try
So here's to some fine day
When the pain subsides
To find a different way
As the story dies

I couldn't reach you
You were so far away
I can't undo it
Take the past away
And if I could
I would wipe your scars away
I'd trade the pain for you
But you're always so far away
