Distance Between

Time will take me places you and I never went,

but I’ll carry a little of us wherever I’m sent.

I know one day I’ll be happy,

but a part of me will always look back for you.

You became a place I can’t return to,

a road that keeps on leading back to you.

You’ve closed the door on what we used to be,

so i’ll learn to love you quietly,

from somewhere you can’t reach me.

We became the distance

between us, we found our way back,

but it wasn’t enough.

I’ll carry a little of us,

somewhere deep inside, so i’ll love you

from a distance, for the rest of my life.

You used to leave your heart with me,

now you keep it out of reach.

I used to find a home beside you,

now i’m wandering through the space between.

i’m learning how to stand beside you

without reaching for your hand.

You became a place I can’t return to,

a road that keeps on leading back to you.

You’ve closed the door on what we used to be,

so i’ll learn to love you quietly,

from somewhere you can’t reach me.

I would’ve chosen you without a doubt,

but i can’t make you change your mind.

I could spend my whole life loving you,

and still know i have to let you choose.

So i’ll love you without asking you to come back,

i’ll

keep what we had without holding you back.

I know one day i’ll be happy,

and maybe i’ll

stop looking

back for you.

But i’ll carry a little of us somewhere deep inside,

and

love you from

a distance, for the rest of my life.
