Lyrics The distance One Less Reason

The distance

And since you've been gone, I've 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

So I had to do whats best for you

Years spent alone but I couldn't stay
Once I lost my soul and found my way
Back to the place, I started with you
When we realized what we would do
With a 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 promises I made
You did nothing wrong, but you felt ashamed
But when I heard that they gave you away
Well, I had to do whats best for you

Say it, say what you needed to say
You know you will feel better now
And hate me, hate me for all of the ways
I let you down
In search of you I found myself (I lost myself)
I lost myself
But don't you feel better now

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 promises I made
You did nothing wrong, but you were ashamed
But when I heard that they gave 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 where 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 promises 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 what's best for you
(Well I had to do what's 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
