Half a World Away
Half A World Away
Told me these things that I thought were true
Yet here I am wondering, I haven't heard from you
The things you said, the promises made
Are slowly changing and I can't figure out why
I've given my all up for you
Now I feel like you're toying with my heart
Say these words about him that you said before
Those words that were once meant for me
Or what I thought they seemed to be
But how can I blame you
I can't expect you to understand
When I feel like I'm half a world away
Here I am, thinking of you today
Lately, your actions contradict your words
And still, I can't expect you to know what I'm going through
You're not two-thousand miles from the one you love
Expectations that I had, what you said to me
For weeks and months made me as strong as could be
What kept me going, what I was looking forward to
Is now slowly fading out of view
I'm crying inside, I let my heart go
Broken now with these memories I have of you
I gave it my all, always stayed true
Now I feel, feel like you're toying with me
Through a broken promise, now I see clearly
But how can I blame you
I can't expect you to understand
When I feel like I'm half a world away
Here I am, thinking of you today
Lately, your actions contradict your words
And still, I can't expect you to know what I'm going through
You're not two-thousand miles from the one you love
These tears that I've built up inside
I'll cry myself to sleep tonight
If I'm lucky, I'll find some comfort
In those words that I thought were once meant for me
Again to dreaming, of hoping for something
But it's different now, because I can see
I'll never be that special part of your life, not the way I thought I once could be...
