The Longer We're Apart
Healing Echoes of Separation: Lucie Silvas' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I have been down this road before
I have experienced this situation in the past.
And each time I run when I should walk
I tend to act impulsively when I should be more cautious.
Diving too deep when I can't swim
I get involved deeply in situations without the necessary skills or preparation.
Always asking what could have been
I often ponder what might have happened differently.
I held my heart out in my hands
I exposed my vulnerability to you.
And you pull me down each time I stand
You bring me down whenever I try to stand up.
And I've tried to fly away from you
I attempted to distance myself from you.
I'd rather be alone than love you like I do
I prefer loneliness over loving you in the way I currently do.
And so they say that time's a healer
Commonly said that time heals wounds.
Maybe it's about time that I start
It might be time for me to initiate the healing process.
But I've found time don't make it any easier
Despite time passing, the pain doesn't diminish.
The longer we're apart
The pain persists and even intensifies as we stay apart.
Why is every body always more afraid to live than die
People are often more scared of living than dying.
They seem to have the strength to fail but not the will to try
They have the strength to accept failure but lack the will to try.
I've never been like this and I'm not about to start
I am not like them, and I won't adopt their approach.
The part of me I miss I'll find now that we're apart
The missing part of myself will be rediscovered now that we're apart.
I'm going down this road once more
I find myself in a familiar situation again.
And each time I run when I should walk
I tend to act hastily instead of taking a more measured approach.
When you reach the end just start again
When reaching the end, I choose to restart rather than reflecting on the past.
Never look back at what could have been
I avoid dwelling on what could have been.
And now I know that time's a healer
Time has a healing effect, as commonly believed.
Maybe it's about time that I start
It might be the right time for me to actively participate in the healing process.
But I've found time it don't make it any easier
Despite time passing, the emotional burden doesn't lighten.
The longer the longer we're apart
The duration of our separation exacerbates the difficulty.
Oh baby won't you sing it to me
A plea for emotional expression and understanding.
Oh the longer baby
Repetition of the idea that the longer we're apart, the more challenging it becomes.
Oh oh yeah
An expression of emotion or agreement.
