From the recording The Roar of the Approaching Night
Lyrics
MILES AWAY FROM YOU
If you take some time I know you will see
The reason why I’m gone
Just take a look into your bathroom mirror
You’ll see exactly what went wrong
I know you’ll search for me believing you’re sorry
Rehearsing all the words you’ll say
And in your anger, you will sit and wait
But I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
Like all beginnings, it was sunshine and roses
And all I did was sweet and true
I felt like everything would last forever
No matter what we’d say or do
But then your cheating and your lies took blossom
And for forgiveness you would pray
Now in your anger, you will sit and wait
But I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
And I don’t think you’ll ever understand
Your senseless longing to betray
Or why you thought that I’d continue to live
My life in total disarray
Now, while you curse the world for all its failures
And try to comfort your deceit
I’ll rise to find myself another beginning
Full of happiness, loving and winning…
If you take some time I know you will see
The reason why I’m gone
Just take a look into your bathroom mirror
You’ll see exactly what went wrong
You’ll see the shadow of a heart so fallen
A heart you held too long at bay
Still, in your anger you will sit and wait
But I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
I’ll be miles away
Miles away from you
I’ll be miles away
(Miles and miles away)
I’ll be miles away
(Miles and miles away)
I’ll be miles away
(Miles and miles away)
Miles away...
Miles away from you
