[English]

i wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar.

been gone so many days I'm losing count.

and when i think of home, i see your face.

i know i have to wait.

we're so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be there with you.

so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be back with you.

i miss hearing your laughter, and all the little things.

forgotten what it's like to hold you.

'cause where i'm at right now's so unforgiving.

it's numbing everything.

we're so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be there with you.

so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be back with you.

so promise,

no matter how long it takes for me to get back to you.

you'll wait for me.

i promise,

no matter how far away i go i'll come back for you.

just wait and see.

i miss being at home, i miss your face.

i don't think i can wait.

we're so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be there with you.

so close yet so far.

it's tearing me apart.

what i would do to be back with you.

I promise.

It's tearing me apart.

no matter how far away i go i'll come back for you.

I promise.

It's tearing me apart.

what i would do.

what i would do.

what i would do to be there with you.
