The worst thing in the world, I can taste
Is when you love someone but it goes to waste
When they will never know how you feel
You hide behind the veil of friendship
Perhaps it isn't quite love
Because it cannot develop
Because you know as well as I do
She will never know
Never know what it's like to hold her in my arms
Like a jewel, unrefined, but so far away
When it goes to waste, what can I say?
And the tears stream down your face
Love at a distance, it pangs the heart
Love at a distance, never to start
Like a knife, driven like the snow
Twisting slowly, a near fatal blow
Have you ever found an ounce of gold?
Wading through the streams in search of silver
It's value is a precious thing untold
But you cannot keep it
It can't be taken, it must be given
It's beauty so rare and mystified
How can you keep on living
When love doesn't abide
She'll never know, what feelings burn inside
One look at her is emotional suicide
My friend, your just along for the ride
I'll blow downstream, and end up with the tide
