Miles Away

Such a heavy price to pay, all the time that

I've spent missing home

And I try not to complain, but sometimes it won't leave me alone

And I think

I know myself better than anyone else

Cause I'm me,

I oughta know, what

I want, what

I need, what's inside of me

Maybe something that

I took to get outta my head, or took for the thrill

The way I dress, the way that

I look, or the way that

I pay the bills '

Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong '

Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score

All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow

Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose

Music and melody, and words to a poem

You think that you know me, you're not even close

Though I'm living out my dream, wasn't long 'til

I figured it out

Nothing ever comes for free, even here on the merry-go-round

So you wanna take a ride, rollin', and living the life '

Cause you think

I got it made, well, in case you don't know, my friend died today

And it's tearing me apart, if

I knew what to say, don't know where to start

I reached down in my heart, and with paper an pen put it in a song '

Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong '

Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score

All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow

Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose

Music and melody, and words to a poem

You think that you know me, you're not even close

The pages have burned but they're written in stone

Now, what will become of us, nobody knows

And the wheel keeps on turning,

I rise and

I fall And

I try to get back, but

I'm lost in it all

And I look all around, and

I see that it's gone

You're miles away, miles away

Yeah, you're miles away, yeah, you're miles away

Miles away, yeah, you're miles away
