When the closest one is the farthest away How it burns in your mind when there's nothin' left to say When the closest one is the farthest away Is there anything I can do to help you wanna change When the closest one is the farthest away It'll break down your mind with those lonesome feelin' ways When the closest one has nothin' left to say Just keep on truckin' through another broken day All you can do Is what's best for you All you can do Is what's best for you When the closest one is the farthest away How much longer will you take those dark and lonely days When the closest one is the farthest away Will there be another chance for us to feel a little change When the closest one don't look at you the same Has she forgot the spark that you always used to bring When the closest one is the farthest away How it burns in your mind on those tough and lonely days All you can do Is what's best for you All you can do Is what's best for you When the closest one has nothin' left to say Well, do your best to make her feel wanted every day When the closest one is hatin' all your ways Well, let it be and do somethin' to help it go away When the closest one don't look at you the same Just try to think about some o' them good lovin' days When the closest one don't like callin' your name Remember back when you were once both on the same page All you can do Is what's best for you All you can do Is what's best for you When the closest one is the farthest away How it burns in your mind when there's nothin' left to say When the closest one is the farthest away Ol' time will work against you when you start to fade away When the closest one is the farthest away Will there be another chance to try to heal our hurtful ways When the closest one starts lookin' the other way How it burns in your mind when she says that you're to blame All you can do Is what's best for you All you can do Is what's best for you
