You say that you’re been used
And now you’re feeling so confused
You need some space and time
To sort your thoughts and clear your mind
And if it takes a year
You know i’ll still be here

I want to be your friend
I want to help your wounds to mend
I want to be with you
To comfort you

But you’re too far away
And i can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hold you in my arms
But it you need time
You know i don’t mind
I’ll be here, but you’re still far away

You call me on the phone
But when we’re through i’m still alone
I light a cigarette
But i can’t forget

That you’re too far away
And i can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hear you say
You’ll come to stay with me

It’s hard when you’re too far away
And i can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hold you in my arms

But if you need time
You know i don’t mind
I will wait
Until you’re here to stay
