"if stretched over two continents"

the feeling of emptiness is all that is left
with memories of i love yous and forget me nots
an ocean now resides between our touch
but maybe that is just a little too much

building foundations that i know one day will fall
but never thinking this is could be the downfall of us
chasing' nothing is what i do best
because i am good at misjudging the length of this gap

no sympathy i cant find it for myself
this was bound to happen no matter what i tell myself
this isn't the place where i keep my head
but i can't keep my shots from hitting the ground

holding my breath as i wait patently
as everyone knows this will consume my soul
so blinded by stupidity that i can break abruptly
everyone sees this as a non just play

as the door i opened shuts in my face
i begin to wonder why i sought this out
because i knew one day she will sail away
these sorrows i cant keep to my self

as i weep for a love that isn't there
a heart cant keep beating and trusting
if stretched over two continents

i knew one day she would sail away with my dreams
but still i let her hold on to them for safe keeping
