Distance

Ain't no distance but we're distance 
If you were all in you'd make it a priority in an instance 
I've seen you but it's like you're losing your substance 
Your smile from now on is not enough 
Never acted tuff I've had it rough
Seen the ones claiming they'd ride
Left me on the roadside 

The rain hides my pain for this love is in vain 
All these years nothing to show or gain 
I'm being played like the guitar 
Every stroke of the string is a stain 
No name to these wings I'm broken like an airplane 

Why so uncertain of your feelings 
Vivid memories when looking up at the ceiling 
Trying to convince myself these bruises are healing 
Must be a dream about the world that's feigning 

What's there to hide before I go she seeks 
The possibility is endless like the water in a creek 
But it's too late I know I'm in too deep 
Use to once gasp for breath now I'm asleep 
Hence today is the last day you'll catch me this neat
