Lyrics

Distant

(You lead me on for weeks
You talk this and that
You tell me pretty lies
But you never follow through with what you say
You know what I mean?
Like
You can say that you want this
You can say whatever you want
But doing it is completely different)

Love of mine, so divine
How's it feel spending time apart?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run and hide, stay alive
But I know you're barely breathing

What do I do?
I'm still so in love with you
And I know that you want me too
But you always do me so cruel
So cruel

You got so distant
There you go putting up fences
Lucky for you, I'm persistent
But you always taste so resistant
Distant

Love of mine, losing sight
How's it feel in another bed?
Hmm, yeah, yeah
Simple life, you and I
Could've had it all, but you're scared

What do I do?
I'm still so in love with you
And I know that you want me too
But you always do me so cruel
So cruel

You got so distant
There you go putting up fences
Lucky for you, I'm persistent
But you always taste so resistant
Distant

You got so distant
There you go putting up fences
Lucky for you, I'm persistent
But you always taste so resistant
Distant
