Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us

Open up as lonely as the space between the stars

I wish that I could find a way

To smash my fist right through these walls

Of ugliness and emptiness

And gently touch your face

But every time that I touch you

You feel so far away

And every time that you need me

I feel so far away

As you lie silently beside me choking back your tears

I wonder if you recognize

That silence now defines us

Desperately I try to fight this overwhelming sense

That I may never find

The strength to change

How hopeless we've become

We need to find a way to break this silence

We need to find a way to break this silence that's between us

So I scream your name

But every time that I touch you

You feel so far away

And every time that you need me

I feel so far away

And every time that you reach out

You feel me pull away

And every time that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you

You feel so far away
