A Million Days

she hopes that you would see
 what differs her from you
 separated by each day
 pretending something far away
 will she ever know just how close she is
 from breaking down the walls you build
 but you have to say you don't believe in whichever face
 that she brings
 to make you feel at ease
 all the late night reruns of your life, will stop
 when you know
 when you know she'll never stay
 it set you back a million days
 you lived your life head on
 to beat every clock every day
 never caught your time
 deserted orphan left in vain
 now it's all too late
 couldn't see quite how
 too busy then
 busy just staying alive
 but you have to say you don't believe in whichever face
 that she brings
 to make you feel at ease
 all the late night reruns of your life, will stop
 when you know
 when you know she'll never stay
 it set you back a million days
 to make you feel at ease
