Time and Distance

The rain hits the glass of the window 
As the thunder gets louder
I’m sitting on the gallery banister
Seeking refuge from a bottle of liquor

But the alcohol doesn’t help me
Right now nothing can
Lightning casting shadows on the face
Of a sad and lonely man

I kept looking out the window
Hoping to see the sun shine
But all I see is darkness
Maybe it’s hiding some where behind

It’s hard living with this broken heart
With this empty feeling in my gut
I don’t know what to do anymore
All I know is that I’m missing her a lot

When you’re missing someone 
The whole world seems depopulated
And there’s nothing in this world you can do
As your life becomes more complicated

Getting over someone you love 
Is the most impossible thing to do?
It feels really bad when you fall in love
With some one that cant be with you

It’s even worse when the relationship
Never gets the chance to survive
And trying to forget someone you love
Is the hardest “assignments” in your life?

Especially when you know in your heart
That she is that special one
And you know if you are not with her
Then life has no reason to go on

I’m wish to be with the girl I love
But we’re thousands of miles apart
And time and distance can be so cruel 
It Can bring a lot of grieve to the heart

I don’t know when I will get to see her
And its hurts her when I tell her so
And will we ever get to be together
Its something only god knows

And not knowing if we will be together
It’s a terrible feeling to go through
So trying to get over or forget or just move on
Feels like a knife cutting the heart out of you

And Who ever said “time heals all wounds”
Clearly don’t know what they’re talking about
And if I see that person right now
I would tell them to shut their big mouth
