i'm nowhere near

I’ve been searching for so long.

Just take one look, that’s when it disappears.

I’ve been left here for so long.

In your space is where I’m nowhere near.



If I just walked away, how many would follow?

If I left today, would there be a tomorrow?

If I found the words, would I be able to speak them?

If I knew who I was, would I still want to be?



Why are you so far away?

Why don’t I know what to say?

Why do I keep moving forward,

When everything just pushes me back?



You leave, but I’m still right here.

I thought I was close, but I’m nowhere near.

There's nothing left, except all my remains.

No one's ever there; to me you're just forgotten names.



It was always empty, and never a part of me.

I've been here so long, but you never needed me.

Everytime I need it, it's never there.

When it's all over, I'll forget how you weren't there.
