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
