Flesh and Blood

If you're my flesh and blood
Then why do our hearts beat differently?
If we are connected
Then why do I not feel a thing?
I speak to you like you're a stranger
Or some stiff, formal acquaintance
I don't know how else to act
When you give the same vibe back

If time makes things better
Why hasn't it yet changed our lives?
If we are meant to bond
Why does silence cut like a knife?
I've watched you grow from a distance
And it seems we've all aged in an instant
Miles have made my heart grow cold
Like the years that have made us old

If I really love you
Why do I never say the words?
If you really me
How could you ever be deterred?
Has reality gotten the best of us all?
Something so grand as love has been made so small
We're supposed to carry each other
Every sister and every brother

I can't be reassured
With pleasant words
They make me smile for a minute
Then I feel the awkward distance
I cannot be sure
Whether we will ever change
It seems the more life throws between us
The more we stay the same
