Miles Between Us

Whiskey glass on the windowsill Your voice through the phone, static and still You say you're faithful, I want to believe But doubt plants seeds that I can't relieve There's miles between us, darlin' And shadows growing long The distance breeds these demons That tell me something's wrong I'm holdin' onto promises You're slippin' through my hands This love that burned so bright Is dying where we stand Late night calls grow few and far New friends' names like shots to my heart Each passing day puts rust on our chain Your laughter sounds different, tinged with pain Found a ticket stub in your drawer Name of a bar I've never heard before The truth in your eyes doesn't match your words Like watching a storm through a cage of birds I built my world around your return Now I'm watching those bridges burn Jealousy's poison, I've drunk it all down Now we're both just wearing a crown of thorns There's miles between us, darlin' But now they're here to stay The distance killed our loving There's nothing left to say I'm letting go of promises You already set free This love that burned so bright Was never meant to be
