Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us Open up as lonely as the space between the stars I wish that I could find a way To smash my fist right through these walls Of ugliness and emptiness And gently touch your face But every time that I touch you You feel so far away And every time that you need me I feel so far away As you lie silently beside me choking back your tears I wonder if you recognize That silence now defines us Desperately I try to fight this overwhelming sense That I may never find The strength to change How hopeless we've become But every time that I touch you You feel so far away And every time that you need me I feel so far away Can I feel so far away? (Feel so far away I feel so far, far away) We need to find a way to break this silence (x3) that's between us So I scream your name I scream your name (x3) But every time that I touch you You feel so far away And every time that you need me You feel so far away And every time that you reach out You feel me pull away And every time that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you You feel so far away
