The Other Side Of The Wall










A crippling anxiety
A chasm between you and me
That I wish wasn't there









There are things that I would like to say to you
I'm so afraid you'd disapprove
If you would even care







You're on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I'm on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying







Sometimes it all seems well within my reach
If only I could dare to breach
The barriers that stand







But then I start to doubt instead
Perhaps it's all just in my head
And my will dissolves like sand








You're on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I'm on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying







To wish for things impossible
Against the insurmountable
May seem a dream for fools






But drowning in uncertainty
For countless more eternities
Is equally as cruel






You're on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I'm on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying
