The Last Three Feet

You are the darkness of my heart
You are the shadow of my soul
You tore my peace of mind apart
You are the thoughts I can’t control

And I want you to know
That forgiveness isn’t easy

We mine for diamonds in the deep
But all we’re bringing up is coal
You pay me visits in my sleep
Never returning what you stole

And I’m trying to go
Down the path that one day frees me
From you

The longest mile, the last three feet
How do you make a heart complete
After the wind has ripped your sail in two

The longest mile, the last three feet
Mеasure the distance in bеtween
It’s never as far as seems from me to you

We’d like to think that we are right
We want to feel that we are good
We say we’re following the light
We all hope to be understood

But peering in the night
We can sense our own delusion
We’re loving mixed with spite
And we draw our own conclusions
It’s true

The longest mile, the last three feet
How do you make a heart complete
After the wind has ripped your sail in two

The longest mile, the last three feet
Measure the distance in between
It’s never as far as seems from me to you

And if you wrestle with your pain
When do you feel the seeds of change
Finally take hold
And rearrange the view?
