The Distance Songtext / Lyric

And since you've been gone

Ive been away

From here and now

From yesterday

The lies that it took

To keep you around

So i held you here

We talked about

A life of sin

Giving in

And how sometimes

Even God forgets.



And I come to save you

But I couldn't remember your face

So I closed my eyes

And called out your name

And when I found you

You were slipping away

So I had to do whats best for you






Years spent alone

But I couldn't stay

Once I lost my soul

Found my way

Back to the place

I started with you

Where we realized

What we would do

With mended heart

A brand new start

And the words back

We never meant to say



And I come to save you

But I couldn't remember your face

So I closed my eyes

And called out your name

And when I found you

You were slipping away

So I had to do whats best for you

The lies that they gave you

Were the same as the promise I made

You did nothing wrong

But you were ashamed

But when I heard they would give you away

Well, I had to do whats best for you



Say it, say what you needed to say

You know you'll feel better now

And hate me, hate me for all of the ways

I let you down

In search of you i lost myself

I lost myself

Don't you feel better now?



And I come to save you

But I couldn't remember your face

So I close my eyes

And call out your name

And when I found you

You were slipping away

So I had to do whats best for you

The lies that they gave you

Were the same as the promise I made

You did nothing wrong

But you were ashamed

But when i heard they would give you away

Well, I had to do whats best for you



And I come to save you, but i couldn't remember your face

(I couldn't remember)

So I close my eyes and call out your name

(I call out your name)

And when i found you, you were slipping away

(You were slipping away)

So I had to do whats best for you

(You know I had to do, whats best for you)

The lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made

You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed

(You did nothing wrong)

But when I heard they just gave you away

(And when I found)

Well, I had to do whats best for you

(Well, I had to do whats best for you)



And I come to save you

(I come to save you)

But I couldn't remember your face

(I couldn't remember)

So I closed my eyes

(I close my eyes)

And called out your name

And when I found you

(When I found you)

You were slipping away

(You were gone)

So I had to do whats best for you



The lies that they gave you

The same as the promise i made

You did nothing wrong

But always to blame

Even though you've forgotten my name

Oh, I would still do whats best for you.
