Haven't really wrote anything like this in a long time so more expression than perfect writing. [bodytext] => In your eyes I see the disappointment of my future.
These old walls reflect stagnation,
Not the hope I feel.
The conflict is my addiction.
You'll be my downfall
But I just can't resist.
You're my comfort zone,
But claustrophobia is beginning to grip.

I need to be miles from here,
To grow and become,
But my imagination won't stretch that far,
Because you won't be there,
There are those who would be devoted,
Be by my side at every step.
Is it because I'm just a commodity?
A treasure almost, but still dispensable.

As time goes by the gap grows bigger,
Maybe when the time comes it will be easier,
Because the distance between us
Is already vast enough to let go.
A disconnect, a sacrifice,
In return for a dream.
I'll let the years decide,
What really bears worth in our lives.

In your eyes I see the disappointment of my future.
These old walls reflect stagnation,
Not the hope I feel.
The conflict is my addiction.
You'll be my downfall
But I just can't resist.
You're my comfort zone,
But claustrophobia is beginning to grip.

I need to be miles from here,
To grow and become,
But my imagination won't stretch that far,
Because you won't be there,
There are those who would be devoted,
Be by my side at every step.
Is it because I'm just a commodity?
A treasure almost, but still dispensable.

As time goes by the gap grows bigger,
Maybe when the time comes it will be easier,
Because the distance between us
Is already vast enough to let go.
A disconnect, a sacrifice,
In return for a dream.
I'll let the years decide,
What really bears worth in our lives.
