The Distance Lyrics
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
