Distant Lover

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here’s the story of a distant lover We went to battle and she ran for cover She stole my cool And she played the frightened fool And now I don’t even recognize her She went down south with burning fire She stole my cool Chorus (And I know) It takes the better part of me To leave the better part of you But every shadow that I chase Brings me closer to the truth (And I know) That love was meant to pull us through But now it feels like déjà vu I’m holding on to memories Of my distant lover Verse 2 When the wind would whisper, She’d come calling Promised high, but left me In free-falling She stole my time With a heart that Crossed the line I kept believing she was Coming closer But every step just brought me Getting colder She stole my time Verse 3 She had a voice like velvet Soft, misleading Every word she spoke Had me pleading She broke my will But I loved her Even still I see her shadows in the Broken mirror But I’m still standing, even If she’s nearer I loved her still
