Distance
Krissy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, yeah

After all this time,

Still you're on my mind
How do I let you know
That I can't let you go?
And time, it's taking its sweet time

Letting these memories fade
Making these feelings go away
And I never got to tell you how
How badly I'm hurting now
And I'm building all these walls
To never let the feelings out

That I love you, that I love you
All the way from here
Keep my distance,
Keep my distance
High behind my fears
And you told me it's not easy
But what do you think
I'm going through?
Said you love me, then you left me
Where do I go from here?
Go from here, ooh
Go from here, ooh

Try to stay awake
But the past, it always haunts me
You just want me around to stay
When I'm halfway
Out the door or leaving
I'm trapped in the games you play
It's a never-ending cycle
But I can't seem to break away

Even when you take
The air I'm breathing

'Cause I loved you
Yeah, I loved you
All the way from here
Keep my distance,
Keep my distance
High behind my fears
And you told me it's not easy
But what do you think
I'm going through?
Said you love me, then you left me

Where do I go from here?

Go from here, ooh
Go from here, go from here

Said I love you, said I love you
All the way from here
Keep my distance,
Keep my distance
High behind my fears
And you told me it's not easy
But what do you think
I'm going through?
Said you love me, then you left me
Where do I go from here?
Go from here, go from here
Go from here, go from here

Go from,
Where do I go from here?
