Worlds Apart
You were the one person I confided in
From you no secrets I kept
Everything I ever hid within
I knew I could talk to you
Day or night it never mattered what time
For every problem you were there to see me thru
And now without you here
I’m lost…I don’t know what to do
Everyone tells me you’re in a better place
But in my heart there still remains an empty space
Every day I fight the urge to call
Telling myself there’s no use at all
Because I know that never again
Will I hear your voice on the other end of the line
People keep saying that it just takes time
But I know that’s just another lie
Nothing I try to do could ever erase this pain
I look up and talk to the sky
Wondering if you can even hear me way up there
And again I begin to cry
Close to my heart
Doesn’t mean much at all
When we’re not just miles, but worlds apart!
