We've Grown Apart

 

 

So it seems we've grown apart
And your life’s been rearranged
Somewhere along the line we both have changed
But there’s still a warmth inside me
The comfort of a dream
Someday I may wake and see you standing there
We’ll be at the crossroads where we began
When we were not alone
Our choices may change 
But us
We’ll always be the same
Out searching 
To make our lives a brighter place
Gone fishing
But can’t seem to find the lake
I've been crazy
My heart is weak
And my mind is sick
Always hoping for the get rich quick
When all I need is inner peace
Yes I found a way to ease the pain
It feels good knowing how much I've changed
And all I do for everyone but me
Has begun to take away the blame
But everywhere I turn
I still find me
We’re the ones out searching
For the hidden meaning
And I long to be as free as you seem
With no moral bonds to hold you down
And no fear to how far you fall
Walk on water and drown in arrogance
Boast you’ll never be caught
But our dreams are getting further
And in truth I have found lies
I’ll be alone to watch
You barely survive being free
I am crying 
Even in my dreams.
