Such a heavy price to pay, all the time that I've spent missing home And I try not to complain, but sometimes it won't leave me alone And I think I know myself better than anyone else Cause I'm me, I oughta know, what I want, what I need, what's inside of me Maybe something that I took to get outta my head, or took for the thrill The way I dress, the way that I look, or the way that I pay the bills
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong 'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score
All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose Music and melody, and words to a poem You think that you know me, you're not even close
Though I'm living out my dream, wasn't long 'til I figured it out Nothing ever comes for free, even here on the merry-go-round So you wanna take a ride, rollin', and living the life 'Cause you think I got it made, well, in case you don't know, my friend died today And it's tearing me apart, if I knew what to say, don't know where to start I reached down in my heart, and with paper an pen put it in a song
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong 'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score
All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose Music and melody, and words to a poem You think that you know me, you're not even close
The pages have burned but they're written in stone Now, what will become of us, nobody knows And the wheel keeps on turning, I rise and I fall And I try to get back, but I'm lost in it all And I look all around, and I see that it's gone You're miles away, miles away
Yeah, you're miles away, yeah, you're miles away Miles away, yeah, you're miles away
