So Close so Far - Todd Kerns

What didn’t kill me has made me stronger

What didn’t break me has made me numb

You didn’t know you’d created a monster

With teeth and claws to devour you in song

You should’ve checked because I was still breathing

You should’ve stayed to finish the job

Now I have rhythm and rhyme and reason

But no compassion to make me stop

Are you happy now?

How long did we keep it together

Before love tore us apart?

No promise of worse of better

So close but yet so far

Over time I will learn to forget you

But I will never know how to forgive

And in the requiem of our memory

We will die so that I can live

And you can live with this lie you’ve created

Or you can die for all I care

I will live with the pain you’ve inflicted

No one wins when the fight’s not fair

Are you happy now?

How long did you keep it together

Before my love tore you apart?

No promise of now or never

So close but yet so far

How long did I keep it together

Before your love tore me apart?

And the scars will remain forever

So close but yet so far

Are you happy now?
