English

When
Did the “you’ve got mail!” tone I most wanted to hear
Become the one I hear the least?
Days when I want you by my side, you’re not here
How should I have protected you?

What made those days so lonely
Wasn’t so much the fact that I couldn’t see you
As the fact that I couldn’t tell you how lonely I was

Loving and being loved
What are my options other than that?
Be closer to you than anyone else?
Or be further from you than anyone else?
That’s where I’m going wrong

“I don’t get it…” Those more words
Make me realise the tears you cried that day
Just your being here, wanting to understand
Made me happy

“I’m sorry I didn’t realise”
You’re no longer close enough
For those words to reach you

Loving and being loved
What on earth is the harder of the two?
How many times will I have to make
The same old mistakes
Before I find the answer?

Why do I lose sight of myself so much
When I fall in love?
I know
That smiling and crying in my own way
Will connect me to you

Loving and being loved
What are my options other than that?
Loving and being loved
What on earth is the harder of the two?
That’s why people…

That’s why you…
That’s why I…
That’s where we’re going wrong
