So far away
Emjay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tudutu tu tu
Uuuuh...

Hurts so much inside, no way that you lied
Tears in my eyes, can't believe that it's true
You promised me the world, but there's nothing but empty words
Why don't I realize, why don't you hear my cry
How much more can I take
Of this heartache?
How much more can I take
Of this heartache?

Baby can't live without your love
So far away
Baby can't live without your love
So far away, so far away

How can I live without you by my side
I feel so helpless like a child in the night
I miss your sweet caress, I know that tenderness
We used to share, now I'm alone and I'm scared.

How much more can I take
Of this heartache?




How much more can I take
Of this heartache?
