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 ...
