This Distance

I swear I'm not just saving face, I've changed since we last spoke Killed the fire, cleared the smoke, And I walk on coals until we get back home And you know I've been wasting days, debating ways to cope The river dries, the rocks erode, I swim up-tide to show you how I've grown Oh won't you Take my hand I know I'm asking for so much I let you down I broke your trust Doesn't this distance tear you up? It tears me up And I'm asking for so much, it tears me up. This distance tears me up I said you were my saving grace but I still I said goodbye I'll cut the bullshit, cut the lies Just to hold you til those days are long behind When I've exercised the cliches and I'm speaking only truth It's more than me, it's more than you And the more I try the less my words have use Oh won't you Take my hand I know I'm asking for so much I let you down I broke your trust Doesn't this distance tear you up? It tears me up And I'm asking for so much, it tears me up. This distance tears me up Oh, this distance, this forgiveness I reach out my hand You don't have to take it back, no you don't have to understand All this pain and all this waiting Tell me where I stand If I do or if I don't If I can or if I can't If I do or if I don't If I can or if I... Oh if I can Take your hand I know I'm asking for so much I let you down I broke your trust Doesn't this distance tear you up? It tears me up And I'm asking for so much, it tears me up. This distance tears me up This distance tears me up
