So Close So Far
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What didn't kill me has made me stronger
What didn't break me has made me numb
You didn't know you'd created a monster
With teeth and claws to devour you in song
You should've checked because I was still breathing
You should've stayed to finish the job
Now I have rhythm and rhyme and reason
But no compassion to make me stop
Are you happy now?
How long did we keep it together
Before love tore us apart?
No promise of worse of better
So close but yet so far
Over time I will learn to forget you
But I will never know how to forgive
And in the requiem of our memory
We will die so that I can live
And you can live with this lie you've created
Or you can die for all I care
I will live with the pain you've inflicted
No one wins when the fight's not fair
Are you happy now?
How long did you keep it together
Before my love tore you apart?
No promise of now or never
So close but yet so far
How long did I keep it together
Before your love tore me apart?
And the scars will remain forever
So close but yet so far
Are you happy now?
