Away

Forgive my sins
 I've always been the one that gets caught up
 This mess we're in
 A sea change and I couldn't keep
 And when you passed me by
 I struggled with the why
 No more eye to eye
 It never happened
 I couldn't reach you
 You were so far away
 I can't undo it
 Take the past away
 And if I could
 I would wipe your scars away
 I'd trade the pain for you
 But you're always so far
 The same each time
 The words just never seem to come out right
 For auld lang syne
 I can't forget no matter how I try
 So here's to some fine day
 When the pain subsides
 To find a different way
 As the story dies
 I couldn't reach you
 You were so far away
 I can't undo it
 Take the past away
 And if I could
 I would wipe your scars away
 I'd trade the pain for you
 But you're always so far away
