A Million Miles Away

There you stand with empty hands your history aside
Too young to be a woman and too old to be a child
The life you planned that seemed so grand
Lies small and crushed and petty on the ground

Done with hope you cut the rope but you've been left to dangle
After all these years what seemed so clear looks bad from every angle
The consequence of innocence
You should have lost the day he came around

Who won't say they didn't see it coming
Your pride the only cushion for your fall
But now it's come and gone none of that matters
The world's still got a place for your sweet and lovely face

Oh you've got a glimpse of that nirvana
Now take it in your hands whatever happens
While the world around you gives a moment's grace
Turn and run a million miles away

He emptied out your pockets so now empty out your world
Of all the things that stopped you being someone else's girl
In ten more years your bitter tears
Would not have put more life back in the ground

Who's to say that hope can't spring eternal
Who's to say your life's been cut and dried
When all the world has opened up before you
Go and gind a place for that sweet and lovely face

Oh you've…
Oh you've…
Oh you've…
