So Far Away

(Verse 1)
My Truck breaks down on the edge of town
You’re yawning while the sun goes down
You tell a joke about a man you saw
I laugh but can see through it all 
You’re humming along to a song
Acting like nothing can go wrong.

(Chorus)
But there’s a sadness to your smile
It’s been growing there for awhile
In a house with the curtains drawn
On the coldest hour before dawn
You’re shining bright, honey, I can see
But your worlds so far away from me

(Verse 2)
I see it in how you hold your glass
Waiting for the dark clouds to pass
It’s inside where the laughter dies
The hidden pain behind your eyes
You say you’re fine, you’re not alright
Withdrawing from the sounds of night 
(Bridge)
It’s the worst kind of weight to bear
To look so happy and pretend to care
You’ve got the mask to hide the hate 
But I can sense the pain under the weight
You don’t have to hide the rain from me
Ohhh Don’t hide the rain from me
I’m not looking for a symphony.

(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)

(Chorus)
But there’s a sadness to your smile
It’s been growing there for awhile
In a house with the curtains drawn
On the coldest hour before dawn
You’re shining bright, honey, I can see
But your worlds so far away from me

(Outro)
Ohhh Just let it fall, let it fall
The world won’t end if you lose it all
Let it fall, ohh let it fall
I’ll stay right here through the grey
Until the sadness fades away
Fades away...
