Close enough to touch
But miles away from me
Way out in the dark
Still so plain to see

Side by side we walk
But go in separate ways
We have lost our place
To be

Who is in your mind
As you lie by my side
I gave you all my love
I gave up all my pride

You’ve left but still you stay
I’ve watched you fade away
Love once proud
Now hides inside

You live two separate lives
You won’t leave what you’ve got
Another faithless love
I know now can’t be bought

And though you live with me
What we were is dead
You just stay
And lie in bed
