South of Heaven

How things change; I’m not a little child any more

No need for someone to hold my hand

To shield me from the truth

No more reins – I’m all grown up for sure

Now I’m ready to understand

The bitter feuds of my youth

Lately we’ve gotten so close

I feel like I’m losing the one I love most

How can it still hurt so much?

We’d only just got back in touch

And I’m losing you again

They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice

You and I know that’s not true

I’ve already lost you before, that’s not luck of the dice

You shouldn’t have to say goodbye more than once

I won’t make it back in time

But that doesn’t change the way I feel inside

Wherever you are now you’re fine

It’s so hard to grasp all the time that went by

Look at it this way; it’s better late than never

We’re not so far apart, I’m just south of Heaven

How things change; you’re not there any more

You won’t be there to hold my hand

To shield me from the dark

No more reins – you’ve moved on from here for sure

Now I must understand

It’s okay to be apart

I’m just coming to terms with the thought

That of all the battles you’ve fought

This one finally defeated you

It wasn’t fair the way it treated you

And now I’m losing you again
