Million Miles Away Lyrics

See my relationships are strange when i can't afford
I pray the lord pay me back for what im paying for

A selfish thought, on target or i may be off
On second thought, you on my heart like a navy cross
And just to find some chemistry i would take a loss
But everytime i find the key its like you changed the doors

When im playing tours miles away
We on the same accord
But when im home its still like I'm still miles away

I only got a hundred percent to give
And after 50 for the bills, and 50 for the kid
Im trying to find an extra 10 percent to lend to you
But what you get, you gotta give or i'm spent, im through

My brain is living in a day that ain't came yet
A day when we straight and ain't waiting for a paycheck

I'm brainstorming, when im here gotta stay scheming
Oh, you was talking ? My bad, I was day dreaming..
(Im listening though... What you say?)


[Verse 3: Magestik Legend]

Fathers day fell on my sisters birthday
Couldn’t visit, my daughter rushin' to emergency
Sister didn’t sweat it, my daughters allergy was sunflower
Father didn’t forget it but couldn't remember we even talk 'bout it
A year ago they diagnosed him with alzheimers

Incurable, i had hope till i saw how it
Made his handsome looks catch up with his age, old
I'm thinking selfish when I'm tellin' him to hang on
Stay strong but he barely recognize me
I bought an empty card wrote a letter while my eyes leak
Just wanted to thank him for the times I was overlooking
Like watchin' wrestlin' late at night
And going' bowling with me
And posting my poems on the fridge with a black magnet
Teachin' me backgammon, helpin' with my mathematics
He seem confused when he read it
So I read it, but he was even more confused when I said it
So I hugged him, hoping somewhere deep inside that he knows
That I loved him, told him he’ll always be my hero..
Was just trying to say what I never got to say
Guess I waited way too late, cause he's a million miles away...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
