Hours of hiding, spent apart
The wall was all we'd share
About the closest you could get
About all I would bear
Don't tell me all the things I wasn't
Could have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
Years of listening, taking in
To one day take away
From all the guilt and pity
I could barely keep at bay
Don't tell me all the things I wasn't
Could have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
Time apart I've realized
The names the most we share
Unlike you, there's no way
I could spend forever there
Don't tell me all the things I wasn't
Would have made this big a difference
To all the things you are
