Distant Burns

There’s a way goodbye always slips off my tongue
Singing every song we have ever sung
Morning birds greet me with the tears that they cry
But without him I can’t help but live this lie

I’ve been trying to predict the thoughts in his head
He’s down there dreaming when this city ain’t goin’ to bed
It seems our two worlds are tearing apart
And In his hand he holds my heart

Trapped going backwards I’m singing this song
Though it’d last me for hours, it didn’t last so long
The sky doesn’t smile; it leaves rain clouds where ever I go
It seems we fade the more we grow

A phone call away always seems too far
He know every mile but he can’t start up his car
And For some reason he knows the distance is best
Thinking maybe if she finds security in herself he’ll fail the test

Trapped going backwards I’m singing this song
Though it’d last me for hours, it didn’t last so long
The sky doesn’t smile; it leaves rain clouds where ever I go
It seems we fade the more we grow

Somehow I feel
This all isn’t real
We promised ourselves a happily ever after
But this whole relationship is a disaster

Loving you has become a chore
Every fight is a daily war
Together is better, you know its true
Because what’s you without me, what’s me without you

Trapped going backwards I’m singing this song
Though it’d last me for hours, it didn’t last so long
The sky doesn’t smile; it leaves rain clouds where ever I go
It seems we fade the more we grow
