In a heartbroken town you were lucky you found true love
But that wasn't enough
Your eyes started to stray then you wandered away
Now you're worried cause you've run out of luck
As the night turns lonely and black
You would trade your last day just to find your way back
Oh but you can't get there from here
It is all within view and so painfully near
The saddest of truths has all become clear
The world you can't hold is the one you let go
And you can't get there from here
The one you did wrong took it hard then moved on
Until she found a heart that was honest and true
You pretend you don't care when you see her somewhere
A shine in the eyes of her somebody new
While inside it hurts you so much
Just to know you can look but you know you can't touch
Oh but you can't get there from here...
In a moment you can alter a lifetime
Then spend a lifetime tryin' to find your way back
Oh but you can't get there from here...
