The Distance

So much distance between
who I thought you were
and who you proved yourself to be,

or was I wrong,
did I not see what
I thought I did see.

So, it's over,
and you are on your way,
and why it didn't work,
I really just can't say.

You once said you loved me,
never wanted to see me leave,
said you needed me,
I'm finding that so hard to believe.

Cause then you close the door to your heart
and locked your love away,
and I continued to search
till you chased me away.

I was just who I always was,
I did not change a bit,
just suffered from the pain,
of the things you couldn't quit,

so this is perfect love,
flowing down the drain,
heart full of tears,
in this heavy pouring rain.

So much distance between
who I thought you were
and who you proved yourself to be,

and I've seen in this end, the loss of
my lover, my life and best friend.
