Lyrics
I'm all that I can be, I'm numb, but OK
I know that it's true, I've blamed you, for my mistakes
So I'd, like to say, I'm sorry, I'm this way
All that's left to do, is love you, from far away....
Love is a tired old man with his hopes up too high
Life is a terrible child left alone to try
to answer the calling, to discover now, why
We must live with ourselves, and with ourselves we must die....
All that I've seen, I've become, but I'm free
I know, if I were you, I'd run, I'd get away
So I just try to move on, make it through, another day
and all that's coming true, is I'll love you, from far away....
Love is a tired old man with his hopes up too high
Life is a terrible child left alone to try
to answer the calling, to discover now, why
We must live with ourselves, and with ourselves we must die....
Far, far, away....
I'll stay just out of range...
A hard, night's day....
Still fades as we all, turn to gray...
All that's left to do, is love you, from far away...
(Chorus)
