The Distance Was a Lie

Verse 1
You said that we were drifting, that I'd somehow lost my way
You said I wasn't listening, that I'd forgotten how to care
I lay awake beside you, wondering what I failed to say
While you were making plans with someone I never knew was there

Pre-Chorus
I took the blame for every little thing that fell apart
Never knowing you had given someone else your heart

Chorus
You weren't drifting away, you were running to his door
While I was holding on to everything we had before
You kissed me goodnight with another man in mind
And left me with a love that you'd already left behind

Verse 2
We talked about a family, the home we'd someday share
You smiled and said forever, like you meant it to be true
I never knew a third man had already found his place there
Now every happy memory feels like something you put me through

Pre-Chorus
You made me feel the distance was a fault that I should own
While you were lying next to me, I'd already been alone

Chorus
You weren't drifting away, you were running to his door
While I was holding on to everything we had before
You kissed me goodnight with another man in mind
And left me with a love that you'd already left behind

Final Chorus
You weren't drifting away, you were running to his door
While I was holding on to everything we had before
You kissed me goodnight with another man in mind
And left me with a love that you'd already left behind
