I took a train southwest
Just to try to get this off my chest
And tell you the truth
You were all I found worthwhile
And I can hardly compose a smile
Without you
And I’m so close but still so far from love
You cut my chest wide open
Only to discover that
My heart is always broken
And you break it every day
While I pretend that it’s okay
When I know it’s not
And I’m so close but still so far from you
You could be happy
Oh, you could be here with me
And I could find a way to be happy too
You could be the only
Reason I’m no longer lonely
And darling, I’ll always look after you
I suppose I always knew
That you can do better than me
But I can’t do better than you
Oh, but it’s a heavenly hurt
As I gladly accept the love
I know I don’t deserve
And I’m so close but still so far from the truth
These thoughts remain unspoken
My heart is always broken
