You say that you're been used
And now you're feeling so confused
You need some space and time
To sort your thoughts and clear your mind
And if it takes a year
You know I'll still be here
I want to be your friend
I want to help your wounds to mend
I want to be with you
To comfort you
But you're too far away
And I can't help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It's hard when you're too far away
I long to hold you in my arms
But if you need time
You know I don't mind
I'll be here, but you're still far away
You call me on the phone
But when we're through I'm still alone
I light a cigarette
But I can't forget
That you're too far away
And I can't help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It's hard when you're too far away
I long to hear you say
You'll come to stay with me
It's hard when you're too far away
And I can't help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It's hard when you're too far away
I long to hold you in my arms
But if you need time
You know I don't mind
I will wait
Until you're here to stay
