The Distance

There's a distance between us
It's evident in my demeanour
I be thinking about where you at
What you doing who you be with
Is you alright catch myself
reminiscing of our days
And our late nights together
Conversations that we shared is what I remember
Getting things off my chest and you helped me feel better
And I tried to do the same when you was going through the pain
I was trying keep you dry well I was standing in the rain
'Cause for you to be happy yeah I would've went the distance
Whenever we spoke know I was actually listening
Not sure if I was fallen but I was definitely trippen
Let you know how I feel but you put your guards up
And I don't know if you knew but you was tearing mine down
Didn't know where it was going but I had to find out
So I ran with it even though I had my doubts
I was never one to trust and I remember why now

Love comes love goes
But you never really know
Is it real or temporary
Maybe even just for show
These days it's games
And I ain't feeling to play along
I'm gonna keep it real with ya
Like the words in this song

I can still see your face
perfect smile warm embrace
Just the thought of your laugh
Puts my mind up in a state
That I just cannot explain
Because no one will understand
I was true with every word
Raised myself to be a man
And I tried to share that with ya
But I guess the timing wasn't right
I lay up in the dark thinking about it every night
Yet I wonder if you might just maybe think about it too
Said you wanted to keep it simple 'cause you didn't know what to do
I had everything to gain and nothing to lose
So it seemed at the time it was easy to choose
Definitely blinded by the feeling of being with you
'Cause in all retrospect I should've seen what was coming
But my mind was clouded
And my heart was blunted
You had everything I needed even more than I ever wanted
But I guess I should've fought for the thought or the feel that what we could've had is a chance at something real

Love comes love goes
But you never really know
Is it real or temporary
Maybe even just for show
These days it's games
And I ain't feeling to play along
I'm gonna keep it real with ya
Like the words in this song
