Distance From Heaven

Wanting you is easy Sometimes being friends I find so hard to do Beneath the ember of lies lives a fire If I’m to tell the truth I don’t mean to push you away I’m trying to protect my heart from hurt You’re an Angel, my weakness, and my purpose You’re a blessing on this earth I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell I tell myself maybe someday knowing damn well I only fool myself Everyday it gets harder Putting feelings back upon the shelf I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell Please be patient give me time I have to face this pain on my own This ain’t the first time and I’m guessing It only ends when my names upon a stone I’m living while dying thinking of All the seeds we could have sown Another sunrise another sunsets on the one I’ve never got to know I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell I tell myself maybe someday knowing damn well I only fool myself Everyday it gets harder Putting feelings back upon the shelf I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell I know right from wrong But sometimes I’m not as strong as I should be I’m here just like always and you bet I’m never gonna leave I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell I tell myself maybe someday while knowing I only fool myself Everyday it gets harder Putting feelings back upon the shelf I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close without touching you is hell I keep my distance from heaven Cause being too close while loving you is hell
