And Oceans Between Us

You were the ailment
And leaving was the cure
I fell away and I still suffer
And year by year I’m fading away

You were the ailment
And leaving was the cure
I fell away and I still suffer
I fade away and I blame you

I need to be someone different
I need to be somewhere different
But who shall we become my dear
When there’s nothing left to love

Then sorrow ate me
I’m not me anymore
Our love became nostalgia
You aren’t you anymore

It’s not love
It’s nostalgia

And it hurts to remember how close we once were
But at some point in your life you have to realize
That some people may stay in your heart
But some just can’t stay in your life

So I took away from me what I loved most
My memories and all the pictures of you
I can’t just tell you what this song’s all about
But basically, it’s about everything that separates us

You were the ailment
And leaving was the cure
I fell away and I still suffer
I fade away and I blame you

Watch me fade away

Now drink after drink, line after line
I poison myself, I poison my heart
As there is something deep inside
Something that I need to kill
Cause one of the hardest things
You’ll ever have to bear my dear
Is to grieve the loss of a beloved person
That is indeed still alive

Then sorrow ate me
I’m not me anymore
Our love became nostalgia
You aren’t you anymore

The weight of the world is love
Under the burden of solitude
Under the incubus of dissatisfaction
The weight, the only weight we carry
Is love
Is love
Is love
