hes not happy when i'm around
hes unhappy when we're apart
he says he just wants to make me happy
all i need to make me smile
is some time to myself
distance makes the heart grow fonder
and i cant tolerate you much longer

what happened to the fun we used to have
the fantasies we lost ourselves in
i cant escape anymore, tied to you
when did you become the victim in your own story
why is the damsel in distress becoming the hero?

you can handle your own burden
it's been weighing you down for decades
you can take care of yourself
you were doing it before i got here

genius child
cerebral, lazy
don't place your hopes and dreams in me
i have my own demons and shadows
skeletons i've let you see
but i will not lose my hopes and dreams
my angels and light to your
crushing self destruction

your remaining pain
dont depend on me
you shouldnt hide behind me any longer
I dont want to protect you any longer.
your weight is dragging me down
wounding my angels, extinguishing the light
crushing me under your burden

so i am not happy when you are around
and i am unhappy when you are away
since its so hard for you to understand
accepting yourself to take away the pain
give me some time alone
to recover from the strain
distance makes the heart grow fonder
and i wont tolerate you much longer
