Conveniently I wait avoid these feelings and other mistakes   If only I were taller I'd see past the clutter and plan an escape   I've hollowed out my heart so emotions can echo and drift apart   But they haunt me in my sleep a constant pounding that wants to speak      These infectious little lies are barely breathing they're barely alive   So I swallow my pride embrace these moments that seem contrived   It's only been eight weeks since I conceded my defeat   But it lingers like a scar that won't allow me to retreat      My dear friend no longer by my side   If only you could see what you meant to me   I have to bridge this gap somehow   The past is far too close and the future hangs in my face   These abbreviated thoughts won't affect you in the end 'Cause the sun's about to set on this moment and on this trend      My dear friend no longer by my side   If only you could see what you meant to me   I have to bridge this gap somehow   The past is far too close and the future hangs in our face patiently
