A thousand miles away

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

How can I possibily thank you
For what you've done to me
As much as you thing you hurt me
I have to disagree

Those years were such a waste
The time can't be replaced
But I won't dwell on that
I'm too happy where I'm at

Now I've got friends and you're not here
To watch how we play
The sun is shining down on me
And you're a thousand miles away

When I wake up and you're not here
It lets in the day
The nightmare fades a dream come true
'Cause you're a thousand miles away

You told me you didn't love me
But how can that be true
You gave me this gift of freedom
That's what lovers do

Those years were such a waste
This time can't be replaced
But I won't dwell on that
I'm too happy where I'm at

I don't recognize the man
Who begged you to stay
My reflection shows no pain
'Cause you're a thousand miles away

When I wake up and you're not here
It lets in the day
The nightmare fades a dream come true
'Cause you're a thousand miles away

You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
