So far away

When you're given an out and you don't take it
When it hurts and you don't feel right
But you still fake it
When you give more than you get
And you swear you won't forget
What does it mean
When you're standing on the sidelines looking in?
When there's miles and miles and miles that stand between
Us, but we pretend
Where does it lead?
No right to ask for more
No chance to shut this door
When you say you want more
Than you can possibly give
What can anyone believe?
When this all rides on a feeling
When committment's all been claimed
When you're not living but just dreaming
How can you go on just the same?
When you're not the top priority
Though that's where you say you want to be
Just look at me, what do you see?
If not enough, then let me be.
