The Distance Lyrics by One Less Reason

Faces and Four Letter Words

2008

[Verse 1]
And since you've been gone, I've been away
From here and now, from yesterday
The lies that it took to keep you around
So I held you here, we talked about
A life of sin, giving in
And how sometimes even God forgets
[Chorus]
And I come to save you
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes
And called out your name
And when I found you
You were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you
(So I had to do what's best for you)
[Verse 2]
Years spent alone, but I couldn't stay
Once I lost my soul, found my way
Back to the place I started with you
Where we realized what we would do
With mended heart, a brand new start
And the words back we never meant to say
[Chorus]
And I come to save you
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes
And called out your name
And when I found you
You were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong, but you were ashamed
And when I heard they would give you away
Well, I had to do what's best for you
[Bridge]
Say it, say what you needed to say
You know you'll feel better now
And hate me, hate me for all of the ways
I let you down, in search of you I lost myself
I lost myself
But don't you feel better now?
[Solo]
[Chorus]
And I come to save you
But I couldn't remember your face
So I close my eyes
And call out your name
And when I found you
You were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong, but you were ashamed
But when I heard they would give you away
Well, I had to do what's best for you
And I come to save you, but I couldn't remember your face (I couldn't remember)
So I close my eyes and call out your name (I called out your name)
And when I found you, you were slipping away (You were slipping away)
So I had to do what's best for you (You know I had to do, what's best for you)
The lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed (You did nothing wrong)
But when I heard they just gave you away (And when I found)
Well, I had to do what's best for you (Well, I had to do what's best for you)
And I come to save you (I come to save you)
But I couldn't remember your face (I couldn't remember)
So I closed my eyes (I close my eyes)
And called out your name
And when I found you (When I found you)
You were slipping away (You were gone)
So I had to do what's best for you
[Outro]
The lies that they gave you
The same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong, but always to blame
Even though you've forgotten my name
Oh, I would still do what's best for you
