[Intro] Oh, oh... [Verse 1] I see you everyday and have to look away I can't allow my feelings to be seen I know the pause before you speak Like you heard what I mean You are a language I was born to know A song I knew by heart [Pre-Chorus] And every honest word I have Learns how to hide itself In every laugh, in every hello That I tell to someone else [Chorus] You are so near, so far Close enough to breathe you, too far to hold You are so near, so far The other half of me I'll never own I speak to you and I am screaming In a voice you'll never hear I love you in a quiet way That keeps you so near, so far [Verse 2] I watch your life go on in light I was never meant to share And every dream I let myself dream Ends with you not there It is a daily pain, a soft pain Of watching and letting go [Pre-Chorus] And every future that I see I see you walking past Not away, not toward me Just a moment that will not last [Chorus] You are so near, so far Close enough to touch, too far to keep You are so near, so far The soul I found I could not keep I speak to you and I am shaking With a truth you'll never know I love you in a quiet way That leaves you so near, so far [Bridge] If we were meant to find each other Why were we meant to find each other like this? To know what perfect feels like And then live with what we miss? [Final Chorus] You are so near, so far My soulmate in a life that isn't mine You are so near, so far And every day I watch you live your time And I will love you in the distance Where love is allowed to stay So near you, so far always [Outro] So near... so far...
