Lyrics

Hey
Don't mistake my silence for not caring
I just learned how to survive alone
I know it feel like I pull away
Right when things start getting close
You touching wounds
I learned to keep covered
Places nobody stayed long enough to heal
I been left too many times
To arrive without preparing for goodbye
You say "talk to me"
But every time I opened up before
My truth got used against me
Every heart I handed over
Came back heavier than before
False accusations on my name
Friendships changing with the seasons
People loving me with conditions
Then blaming me when I got distant
But distance…
Distance became my shelter
Silence became security
If I never let nobody fully in
Then nobody could fully destroy me
So if I seem far away
Please don't take it personal
I'm fighting memories while trying to love you
I enter every relationship
Standing near the exit
Heart halfway packed
Waiting on disappointment
Even when you holding me
Part of me still flinch
Like love got a hidden agenda
And pain just waiting on its moment again
I became distant
Not because I wanted to
But because surviving taught me to
Distant
Every broken promise built these walls
Every rejection made them taller
Distant
I got tired of bleeding for people
Who only came close enough to wound me
So I learned how to disappear
Before abandonment could reach me first
Late nights taught me things
Like how tears sound when nobody checks on you
How rejection echoes louder
When it come from people you prayed would stay
I carried expectations like chains
Trying to be enough for everybody
Till I couldn't recognize myself anymore
Smiling in public
Breaking in private
Begging God not to let bitterness become my language
Cause I don't wanna punish new love
For what old pain did to me
But healing feel dangerous
When hurt been your normal for so long
You keep asking why I overthink peace
Why I question good moments
Why I brace myself when things feel right
Cause every time life felt safe before
Something shattered right after
So now I prepare for distance
Before distance prepare for me
But Lord…
If they were sent to draw me close
Help me stop running
If this love is safe
Teach my heart how to rest again
Cause I'm tired of surviving relationships
I wanna live inside one someday
Lord help me with my distance
Help me loosen these guarded hands
Help me believe everybody ain't leaving
Help me trust what You send
Cause I don't wanna die protected
And never fully loved
Distant…
That's what pain made me
Distant…
That's how I stayed alive
But somewhere underneath these walls
There's still a soul praying
To feel safe enough
To finally let somebody in
