So this is love, or so you tell me
As you're walkin', out the door
Months go by, and I know for certain
It's not the love, I'm lookin' for

Some times, just for a moment,
I reach out, hope you're still there

Miles away,
No, you're never turnin' back,
I just can't wait anymore
Miles away,
Nothin' left of what we had,
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away

It's hard to tell, what you're goin' through
You kept your feelings locked inside of you
Open your heart, and chances are,
What you're feelin', I'm feelin' too

If only, just for a moment,
Hold on, to the dreams that we had

Miles away,
No, you're never turnin' back,
I just can't wait anymore
Miles away,
Nothin' left of what we had,
Just when I needed you most
You were miles away

When times were tough, and you were down and out
Who was there by your side?
Now you've gone, I'm so tired of bein' alone
With only your promises

Lonliness just fades away,
Thoughts of you, just memories
No cryin' now, for what we're missin'
Time won't forget what you meant to me

Hold me, just for a moment
Hold on, to the dreams that we had

Miles away,
No, you're never turnin' back,
I just can't wait anymore
Miles away,
Nothin' left of what we had,
Just when I needed you most, whoa-oh,
Miles away,
No, you're never turnin' back,
I just can't wait anymore,
Miles away,
Nothin' left of what we had,
Just when I needed you most

You were miles away
