So Near and Yet So Far lyrics

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are

Love can be such a long lonely road

When you are leaving the one you love

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are

I cry but you just laugh at my pain

I'll never see you again

The car that gave us happiness is driving me to loneliness

I had to leave you

When I go by familiar scenes that once were part of all my dreams

When I believed you

Why do I keep thinking of you? Wish to god I didn't love you

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are

Love can be such a long lonely road

When you are leaving the one you love

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are

I cry but you just laugh at my pain

I'll never see you again

The radio goes on and on, why does it play your favourite song?

I've learned to hate it

As I pass by I catch the eye of lovers who don't know that love

Is overrated

Love is something that can hurt you, only memories don't desert you

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are

Love can be such a long lonely road

When you are leaving the one you love
