Текст песни The Distance

We pass through these rooms without speaking

Where the light throws a pattern of lace

You say you don't know if you are leaving

But there's no shadow of doubt upon your face

And you tell me there is no other

And I know you well enough to know it's true

And well enough to know you need a lover

Who can give what I never gave to you.

You can say that you were lonely

When I lay right by your side

You can say you saw the distance

When I looked you in the eye

And you can say I never reached you

No matter how many times I tried

But don't say I didn't love you

Cause that's a god damn lie

I emptied the drawer filled with letters

And I bowed my head and cried

No one ever loved me better

There was love in every line

But there were times I didn't hold you

When all you needed was a touch

And there were times when I said nothing

When one word would have been enough

And it seems sometimes like I lost my hand to a machine

In an accident a long time ago

It grabbed at my fingers and tore them off clean

Still I wait for these fingers to grow

And if I had fingers I'd touch your cheek

With a gesture so gentle and fine

I would braid your hair with baby's breath

I would take your hand in mine

You can say that you were lonely

When I lay right by your side

You can say you saw the distance

When I looked you in the eye

And you can say I never reached you

No matter how many times I tried

But don't say I didn't love you

Cause that's a god damn lie

I hear your voice in the morning

Singing softly to yourself

I know you imaging the loving

That awaits you with somebody else

And maybe I will find another

Who will take me in spite of these scars

And each of us yet may discover

How innocent we are

You can say that you were lonely

When I lay right by your side

You can say you saw the distance

When I looked you in the eye

And you can say I never reached you

No matter how many times I tried

But don't say I didn't love you

Cause that's a god damn lie

I know you won't say I didn't love you

Cause you know it would be a lie
