A World Away

You carried a burden of love and of loss;
The greatest depression
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
You’ll never be more
Than a world away from me

I always saw you as the others did;
With ignorance
And never really stepped inside your head
I felt no permanence;
A part of you
You wished you could forget

But I guess that’s life
And I’m sorry that I never really tried
I thought I'd had enough time
But it’s clear to me that things
Were never really as they seemed
It’s all just a waking dream

Will we be remembered
At the end of our days?
Or like a sun-stricken image
Will it all fade away with time?
A vanishing life
You carried a burden of love and of loss;
The greatest depression
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
You’ll never be more
Than a world away from me

You carried a burden of love and of loss;
The greatest depression
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
You’ll never be more
Than a world away
