LYRICS:
****************************************
I don't know what to do
I don't know who you are
I'm calling from the silence
We have gone too far
I try to understand you,
Your life has been so cruel
Please try to see it my way
I've got something to say
All those years
Were not in vain
Even though there was much pain
I try to learn
From my mistakes
I want to make it up to you
A million light years away
From you
I am
A million light years away
From you
I hope that you'd respect my
Honesty and faith
And maybe you'd forgive me
If I could make you see
I want to say I'm sorry
For what I did to you
I'll get on with my life
I hope wou do that too
All those year
Were not in vain
Even though there was much pain
I try to learn
From my mistakes
I want to make it up to you
A million light years away
From you
I am
A million light years away
From you
I am
A million light years away
From you
I am
A million light years away
From you

I am
A million light years away
From you
I am
A million light years away
From you
