Yasunori Mitsuda
A Step Away
Here I am, staring at my own palms
I feel the warmth of your hand
I thought I'd be forever by your side protecting you
Assuming that's what you wanted too

I had no clue that we had nothing between us
Perhaps I was so scared to know the truth
Now that you're gone and yet your love is still embracing me
I'm at a loss, I need you with me

It's like I'm drowning as if I've lost the way
But you always appear as if you guide my way
I thought I could do it all, I had my confidence
But now I'm left alone with no one by my end

I knew my faults, but I pretended I didn't know
I fear I'm not the kind of man you know
I see you smile pretending еverything is all right
But that made me feel morе in misery

I don't know where to start, there's nothing left for me
I know I've lost it all except the memories
When I have my chin up high, I see a glimpse of light
Like how we find the brightest star up in the sky

I now have the courage to show you there is a way
You taught me silently, I know what you will say
And when I search for you, I see a guiding light
It's now so clear to me but you're still far away
A step away
