You want to talk to me,
but i wouldn't hear
the things you say
i wouldn't understand.
My mind is blind
to the pains of the heart.

There's a wall between
you and me in thin air.
I look right through you
as if you're not even there.
a sad situation
an individual affair
a burden in my life
i don't think it's fair

(2x)I'm miles away from you today.

You're tryin' just too hard
to get to know me,
but i'm telling you,
you're not getting through,
it's not your fault
and it is not even mine,
another time it'll be fine.

Can you picture the future
or remember the past?
Life is so short,
we grow so old so fast
You've got the right idea,
but the wrong approach.
I'm not your jewel,
a pendant or a broach.
