Normality Of Distance

I must have been so naïve or maybe just blind
You seemed so content and happy with your life
But little did I know that all was not so well below the surface

Just want to see you ride out this emotional storm
It’s been going on and on for far too long
Want to see you back on form
With that sparkle in your eyes

And as the story unravels
It all becomes so clear
I realise the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer

I hope at last you can finally break free
And be the person that you really want to be
Show your true passion and spirit
And show your beautiful soul
Remove all the shackles and finally let go

Don’t be bullied, don’t be pushed about
Don’t let him try and turn it all around
Don’t let him manipulate
And mess with your fragile mind

And as the story unravels
It all becomes so clear
I realise the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer
Excuses and cover ups all falling into place
I could see the sadness in your eyes
And in the tears on your face

And now at last we can see the real you
You can once again show your true zest for life
When Winter turns to spring
And Spring turns to summer

You’re free to go where you want to go
You’re free to do what you want to do
Free at last just to be, just to be you

And as the story unravelled
And it all became so clear
I realised the normality of distance
Was just a paper thin veneer
Cover ups and excuses
Finally disappeared without trace
I can see the sparkle in your eyes again
And the tears of joy on your face
