“MILES AWAY”

[Intro] Yeah… Five years… And you’re still right there… [Verse 1] Used to fall asleep on my chest Now you don’t even say my name Used to wait up just to see me Now you look at me like I changed I remember every night Every laugh, every fight Every time you held my hand Like I was your whole life [Pre-Chorus] Now you’re just miles away But it feels like worlds I’d give anything Just to hear “Dad” again [Chorus] You’re so close but I can’t reach you They built a truth that I can’t break through I see your face but you don’t see me Standing right here like a memory Miles away… miles away… Even when you’re right next to me Miles away… miles away… And it’s killing me slowly [Verse 2] I left ‘cause I was breaking down I couldn’t breathe inside that house Yeah I made my mistakes But I never turned my back They twisted every word I said Put a stranger in your head Now you’re scared of someone Who would die just to protect [Pre-Chorus] They wrote a story you believe And I don’t recognize me I’m still right here But you can’t see [Chorus] You’re so close but I can’t reach you They built a truth that I can’t break through I see your face but you don’t see me Standing right here like a memory Miles away… miles away… Even when you’re right next to me Miles away… miles away… And it’s killing me slowly [Bridge] They said I hurt you God I swear I never did I’d take every pain from you If I could just relive One more night One more call One more “Dad” down the hall [Final Chorus] You’re so close but I can’t reach you And I don’t know what else to do I’m still your blood, still your father Even if they say I’m not Miles away… miles away… I still feel you in my veins Miles away… miles away… And I’m drowning in the pain [Outro] I’m still here… I never left… I’m still your dad…
