Drifting Away

Lately you've been distant,
never there when I call.
I need to know what's wrong,
because I'm starting to fall.

Was it something I did,
was it something I said?
I keep replaying our conversations,
over and over in my head.

When we we're together,
everything seems so right.
You light up my days,
and fill my lonely nights.

I'm afraid we're falling,
falling so far apart.
If we are then why do I feel you,
in every beat of my heart?

Used to we'd talk forever,
if forever we were allowed.
Every time I heard your voice,
my heart would beat so loud.

That beating has slowed,
to a soft steady drum.
The song that sang in my heart,
is now just a low hum.

Are you pulling away on purpose,
or is this all just a big mistake?
Do you really love me,
or is my heart going to break?

I used to count down the hours,
until I could hear your voice.
Or to see your wonderful face,
oh how my heart would rejoice.

Please tell me you love me,
and you heart I still hold.
Tell me before these tears come,
before my heart grows cold.
