From a Distance

I don't know who you are anymore
I don't remember all the joy you gave me
I want to see you in the light
I want to see you sing amongst the scars
I wanna be there when it happens
I wanna be there when it comes tumbling down
Like it always does

I want to be there in your finest hour
Swimming in the blood
Swimming in the blood

And I forget to put the blinders on when I walk out the door
Tired of wasting energy on politics for the poor
Wanna be your brother, wanna be your friend but I can't
Learning to love

So get your things and leave
I don't wanna see you for awhile
I've been struggling with this
Coming to terms and refinding my style
But disappointment remains
I gave you all the rope and you snatched it away

I wanna see you in the light
I wanna see you sing amongst the scars

And I forget to put the blinders on when I walk out the door
Tired of wasting energy on politics for the poor
Wanna be your brother, wanna be your friend but I can't
Learning to love from a distance
To love, learning to love from a distance
To love, learning to love

I don't know how to say no
I don't know how to get you out of my life (I don't know how to say no)
I don't know how to say no
I don't know how to get you out of my life
(I don't know how to get you out of my mind)
I can't take a knife, slice it twice, and be done by the end of the night
(I don't know how to say no)
I don't how to say no
I don't know how to get you out

And you're coming around
And I want you around
And you're coming back down
And I want you around

And I forget to put the blinders on when I walk out the door
Tired of wasting energy on politics for the poor
Wanna be your brother, wanna be your friend but I can't
Learning to love

And I forget to put the blinders on when I walk out the door
Tired of wasting energy on politics for the poor
Wanna be your brother, wanna be your friend but I can't
Learning to love from a distance
To love, learning to love
Learning to love from a distance
To love, learning to love
