You wanted to talk to me, but I couldn't hear
there's things you wanted to say,
but I wouldn't understand

I'm blind to the things that go on in your mind
My mind is blind to the pains of the heart


There's a wall between you and me in thin air
I look right through you as if you're not even there
a sad situation, an individual affair

a burden in my life and I don't think it's fair

I'm miles away

from you today

You're trying just too hard to get to know me

but I'm telling you,
you're not getting through.
It's not your fault and it's not even mine

Another time or another day it could be fine.

Can you picture the future or remember the past

Life is so short we grow so old so fast,
you've got the right idea but the wrong approach
I'm not your jewel, a pendant or a broach


I'm miles away
from you today


There's a wall between you and me in thin air
I look right through you as if you're not even there

a sad situation, an individual affair
a burden in my life and I don't think it's fair


Can you picture the future or remember the past
Life is so short we grow so old so fast,
you've got the right idea but the wrong approach

I'm not your jewel, a pendant or a broach
