pictures from afar

(You're a million miles away)

Weekends turn to months apart

And now I'm sleeping

When you're just waking up

But now I'm wondering

What you're doing where you are

And I'm so guilty

'Cause I'm not there

If you think I'm fine without you

That I'm okay alone

I'll carry the lessons that you gave me

Everywhere I go

I wish you could fill the missing pieces

That you'd be at my shows

I know it hurts you more to tell me that you won't

So I'll send you pictures and videos

Just to let you know

I'm still the person that you wanted me to be

I wanna hold you and tell you

That you are not alone

From now I know you'll watch me through the screen

But I'm wishing on a star

That you won't be needing pictures from afar

(You're a million miles away)

Sun's going down

And I'm waiting for a shooting star to cross the sky

I don't believe it but I have to try

Lighting the sky, do you know me by now?

I'll still be hoping you'll hear me somehow (do you hear me?)

Crying alone, tell me you're coming home

I know it hurts you more to tell me that you won't

So I'll send you pictures and videos

Just to let you know

I'm still the person that you wanted me to be

I want to hold you and tell you

That you are not alone (you are not alone)

From now I know you'll watch me through the screen (I know you'll watch me)

But I'm wishing on a star

That you won't be needing pictures from afar

Some days I cry

Some days I'm hurting

But you're a million miles away

So I'll keep praying

Some days I cry (some days I cry)

Some days I'm hurting (some days I'm hurting)

But you're a million miles away

So I'll keep praying

Some days I cry

Some days I'm hurting

But you're a million miles away
