Miles Away
Michael Sweet Lyrics

So this is love, or so you tell me
The singer questions whether what they have is truly love, considering that their partner is leaving.

As you're walkin', out the door
The partner is leaving, perhaps indicating that the singer's doubts about the relationship are well founded.

The months go by, and I know for certain
Over time, the singer has come to realize that the love they shared was not enough.

It's not the love, I'm lookin' for
The artist desires more from the relationship than the love they have received thus far.

Some times, just for a moment,
Occasionally the artist hopes that their partner will return, if only briefly.

I reach out, hope you're still there
The singer longs for the connection they shared with their partner, and hopes it can be rekindled.

Miles away,
The partner is distant, both physically and emotionally.

No, you're never turnin' back,
Despite the artist's longing, the partner seems unlikely to return to the relationship.

I just can't wait anymore
The artist is tired of waiting for their partner, who seems intent on staying away.

Nothin' left of what we had,
The love and connection that the artist and their partner shared have been lost.

Just when I needed you most
The singer's partner left at a time when the singer needed them the most, making it even more hurtful and frustrating.

It's hard to tell, what you're goin' through
The artist doesn't really know why their partner left, making it difficult to formulate a plan to move forward.

You kept your feelings locked inside of you
The partner did not express themselves to the singer, leading to confusion and frustration on the singer's part.

Open your heart, and chances are
If the partner would only communicate their feelings, there's a good chance the singer would understand and be receptive.

What you're feelin', I'm feelin' too
The singer believes that they and their partner are experiencing similar feelings, if only the partner would share them.

If only, just for a moment
The artist wishes that their partner would return, even if it was only briefly.

Hold on, to the dreams that we had
The artist urges their partner to remember the good times they shared, and not give up on the relationship.

When times were tough, and you were down and out
The singer supported their partner during difficult times in the past, making it all the more hurtful that the partner would leave now.

Who was there by your side?
The singer points out the support they provided to their partner.

Now you've gone, I'm so tired of bein' alone
The artist is struggling to deal with the loneliness that has resulted from their partner's departure.

With only your promises
The artist is left with only the memories of their partner's promises, which are proving to be empty.

The lonliness just fades away,
The artist has learned to cope with their loneliness, even though it hasn't fully gone away.

Thoughts of you, just memories
The singer is left with only memories of their partner, having accepted that a reunion is unlikely.

No cryin' now, for what we're missin'
The artist has stopped crying over their loss, and has come to accept that the relationship is over.

Time won't forget what you meant to me
The singer will always remember the significance of their relationship with their partner, even if it is now over.

You were miles away
The partner remained distant and uncommunicative, ultimately leading to the end of the relationship.
