Side By Side

Somewhere between you and me

There's a void I can't get by

A place I just can't seem to cross

No matter how hard I try

There are too many broken promises

Surrounded by too many lies

It's been there since the first time we met

I should have seen it in your eyes

Too much history for a future to grow

Where love's supposed to dwell

My heart is too hard for love to spring up

It's something I can already tell

There are too many tears for the sun to dry

Too many, "I'm sorry's used"

There's too much for me to try to forget

This time my heart has refused

Somewhere between you and me

Is where our love has died

You've made my heart push you away

Though we're standing side by side

I hear music and sing the words. Bravo! Love sad songs, the emotion sets you free of the pain you once felt in your heart.
