Verse 1 I drove these endless highways chasing pieces of us, Left you with silence and crumbling trust. Every late-night call from rooms that felt like graves, I held the line unbroken through the lonely waves. I could’ve lost myself in temporary flames, But your memory pulled me back from the edge again. Now I’m standing in the wreckage of the home we made, You let it die while I was away. Pre-Chorus All this time, I was fighting, and you were already gone. Chorus How could you bury everything we built? I stayed faithful in the darkness, gave you all my will! Every mile, every promise torn apart in the flame, Distance burns what we swore would never break. This love is dead and frozen, shattered on the floor, Wake the ashes if you can… I can’t feel it anymore! Verse 2 I was drowning in the quiet, shadows closing tight, Your absence carved a hollow where I lost the light. Nights without your heartbeat left me terrified and cold, Reaching out for anything to keep from losing hold. He was never salvation, just a desperate, fragile lie, A spark against emptiness when I thought I’d die. I never meant to break you. I was breaking too. The distance left me vulnerable. What else was I supposed to do? Chorus How could you bury everything we built? I was lost inside the silence, somewhere I don’t belong. I was weak, I was human, terrified, and alone, Distance burns what we swore would never break. This love is dead and frozen, shattered on the floor, Wake the ashes if you can… before we’re nothing more! Bridge I could’ve strayed — I chose you every night! I needed you here, not just words through a line! You traded us for comfort! The emptiness broke me down! Burn it down! Distance burns! Nothing left to save! Final Chorus How could you bury everything we built? I stayed true through the fire; I surrendered to the guilt. Every mile, every promise lies in ruins now, Distance burns what we swore would never break. This love is dead and frozen…shattered on the floor… Wake the ashes if you can… I don’t feel it anymore. Outro Distance burns… All this time… you were already gone… Distance burns… what’s left of us
