I'm feeling for myself tonight
this burning pain from deep within, well
Feelings so strong and selfish
I'm fighting battles that I can't win

My heart is being tested
though my mind won't let you go, well
I was flying high and free
but now I've hit an all time low

(chorus)
Three thousand miles of heartache
now that you're not by my side
Three thousand miles of anguish
like the sea without the tide
Three thousand miles are keeping
me from being whole again
Three thousand miles are not enough
to make this true love end

Just when everything seemed so perfect
good as it could ever be, well
Some fly got caught in the ointment
now you're pulled away from me

I sit here feeling so pathetic
like a fool who doesn't know, well
I'm holding on so very tightly
so afraid to let you go

(chorus)

I'm here without your pretty face
much more than I can bear, well
I miss your long, slender legs
I still can't touch your auburn hair

Though I hear you telling me
that everything will be alright, well
I just can't stop this feeling
only for myself tonight

(chorus)
