Raw

It feels like ages
but it's been only a day
lately you seem
like you're too far away

distant and lonely
we're forcing our smiles
memories part us
for hundreds of miles

I wish it were different
and you understood
I wish you would love me
but I don't think you could

I remember the days
where there was no rain
things were simple back then
now I'm living with pain

was I mistaken to tell you?
should I keep living a lie?
was it wrong to be honest?
did I bring on goodbye?

I'm sorry for feeling
 I was trapped and alone
but I keep sinking deeper
and this is the stone

disguises surround me
I can't describe how I feel
but I know that I miss you
and that much is real
