Once so close
now you're pulling back
Times are hard
My heart's about to crack
How can I be there for you
When you're not there for me?
The future's looking pretty dark
You were my light to see
A candle in the night
An umbrella in the rainthe armor in a fight
Shielding me from the pain
How can you expect so much
You give so little back
Secrets you keep
Communication skills you lack
I never stopped caring
I just stopped letting it show
Because things with us have ended
What we had will never grow
