200 miles away from home.
200 miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs, but you don't care at all.
You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs.
You demand to be chased for your love.
My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long.
But you don't care at all.
There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me.
Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again?
I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you.
I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow.
Please be home tonight.
I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right.
I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here.
What would it take for me to be with you?
I swear I'd rip my heart out if you said you'd be impressed.
Please be impressed.
I'd go so far to please you but I bet you wouldn't care at all.
Hopeless love, please leave me.
This broken heart is far to weak to run for you this long.
Why don't you care at all?
I'm dying for a place in your heart.
Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again?
I've been trying to ignore the best parts of you.
I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow.
Please be home tonight.
I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right.
I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel every time you're here.
Hopeless love, why did you carve your home in me?
This broken heart is too weak to hold your weight.
And now I regret the day we met.
And help me forget your name.

    General Comment:this song, pretty much word for word, describes how i have felt at times in the past few years. The last line, "hopeless love, why did you carve your home in me, this broken heart, is too weak to hold your weight, and now i regret, the day, we, met," gets me every, single, time. I don't know a person who can't identify with this song, and if someone can't, then they have no soul. I hold this song incredibly close to my heart, and this is an incredible song for anyone who feels a heartbreak so strong that they don't know quite how to put it into words. Beautiful.

    Those 4 lines, god. I can't agree with them anymore. I'm in the same situation. This girl I like told me that she's uncomfortable dating and that we wouldn't be going anywhere because of her last relationship (her last boyfriend died tragically), but I still really like her and want to be with her. I hope that she's home so that she can pick up the phone and we can talk, I just want to talk things out. Everytime I'm by her, everything's okay.

    General Comment:and i agree with donnieisyourmann

    this song is really hard for me to listen to, it just hits way too close to home.

    "Why don't you care at all?
    I'm dying for a place in your heart.
    please be home tonight"

    General Comment:I think this song is really about a guy who is really in love with this girl, but she doesn't really seem to care.

    its kinda depressing.

    General Comment:the end of this song is amazing

    "im still hoping that ill be with you somehow."

    i think when you love someone that much you always just have this hope in the back of your mind that its going to end up together. no matter if its twenty days or twenty years

    General Comment:This song..it really has to be everything i feel about this girl. I try and try yet get nowhere. Exactly what the character wants in his life in this song.This song seriously scared me when i happen to just listen to it out of nowhere and i couldn't help but just feel so perfectly in Sinc with every little bit lyric in the song. Maybe i'll overcome this hopeless love.

    --he just wants her to care, and if that means she smiles, atleast she is still showing interest and cares somewhat to take the time to show some kind of emotion.
