Through the Distance

The pain cuts through my heart When I open my eyes When I wake up to realize and finally see What I'm losing by choosing the life that I'm choosing I know I will regret, and I already do When I by myself feel the tears breaking through One for each of you And one For every moment that we cannot share For every day that i am not there For every minute, every fraction of a second I live in fear. That you won't miss me That you'll forget me Time slips away and you'll grow up to resent me And even though I miss you I won't forget you I'll never get back the time that we lost I cherish the moments we've had twice as much No one can ever replace you And no one ever will For every moment that we cannot share For every day that I am not there For every minute, every fraction of a second I live in fear. That my absence will take out its toll That some day someone else will console you No matter what I will never let go I need you to know That though I cannot see you I still feel you Though I cannot see you I still feel you Through the distance If you won't miss me If you'll forget me If time slips away and you grow up to resent me I will always miss you I won't forget you I'll never get back the time that we lost I cherish the moments we've had twice as much
