[Intro] [Verse 1] I'm lying here in bed, can't sleep again tonight. You're breathing calmly, but there's coldness in between. Though we're sharing covers, there are miles between us. I can't remember when you last reached out for me. Why do you choose not to know me after all these years? [Chorus] There's an abyss between us, As deep as the ocean is wide. You avoid my slightest touch, When we're lying side by side. [Verse 2] You're sitting across from me at breakfast. The coffee's cold, and the conversation's colder. The one who should know me best, Refuses to understand a single thing I say. Why do you choose not to know me after all these years? [Chorus] There's an abyss between us, As deep as the ocean is wide. We speak different languages, When we're eating side by side. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] We're walking through the streets together. People see a couple, but they cannot see the distance. My wishes aren't complicated, But you never see them, never hear them. Why do you choose not to know me after all these years? [Chorus] There's an abyss between us, As deep as the ocean is wide. You walk right past my wishes, When we're walking side by side. [Verse 4] We're standing with the children in the living room. I speak, and you undermine me. You put distance between me and them, And I feel so alone in this. Why do you choose not to know me after all these years? [Chorus] There's an abyss between us, As deep as the ocean is wide. Your words create distance from my kids, When we're standing side by side. [Bridge] Side by side has become a prison, Where tenderness is weaponized. The dreams I whispered in the dark, You wield against me now. To escape means losing everything I love and have build. [Outro]
