Hours of hiding, spent apart 
The wall was all we'd share 
About the closest you could get 
About all I would bear 

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't 
Could have made this big a difference 
To all the things you are 
 
Years of listening, taking in 
To one day take away 
From all the guilt and pity I could 
Barely keep at bay 

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't 
Could have made this big a difference 
To all the things you are 
 
The time apart, I've realised 
Remains the most we've shared 
Unlike you there's no way 
I could spend forever there 

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't 
Could have made this big a difference 
To all the things you are
