Keep My Distance Lyrics by Matthew Mayfield

Gun Shy

2019

Almost gone, tired of pretending
Cus' all these thoughts can’t match a feeling
I'm sick and cold, scanning the radio
Looking for a match, not a rivalry
Cus' I don’t have a clue, just a feeling
So I keep my distance
Scream and shout at whispers
As they pull themselves by on the breeze
It's ok if you don't like it
I won't leave or fight it
I won't believe in you for now
I won't believe for now, now, now
Like heavy breath blowing on the embers
A steady rise starts this December
With emotion in tow
I'm staring the future alone
I don't want your facts, I want your dreams
So I keep my distance
Scream and shout at whispers
As they pull themselves by on the breeze
It’s ok if you don’t like it
I won't leave or fight it
I won’t believe in you for now
I wait, suffering, by mistake
How good does this feel
I don't have to fake, strong enough for this life
To foil my escape
So I keep my distance
Scream and shout at whispers
As they pull themselves by on the breeze
It's ok if you don't like it
I won’t leave or fight it
I won't believe in you for now
It's ok if you don't like it
I won't leave or fight it
I will be here where I am
It's ok if you don't like it
I won't scream or fight it
I won't believe in you for now
I won't believe, for now, now, now
So I keep my distance
Scream and shout at whispers
As they pull themselves by on the breeze
