10 Hours Away

You say you're busy, I say it's fine

But it's always me that calls first every time

Ten hours on the map, and a world in between

But it’s not just the miles, it’s what’s missing from me

I wait for your texts like they’re something to earn

While I’m burning out, you never seem concerned

I’m ten hours away, but I feel more alone

You don’t fight for this love, just let it erode

You only say you miss me when I start to fade

And suddenly, I’m someone you want to save

But where were you when I broke in the dark?

Holding this distance like it wasn’t that hard

Ten hours away…

But I’m the only one feeling far

---

I tried to stay patient, made space for your life

But I’m running on empty while you never tried

You say you care, only when I pull away

I needed a partner, not someone who stays… just to stay

I asked for more, you said “we’re fine”

But love shouldn’t feel like I’m beggin’ for time

I’m ten hours away, but I feel more alone

You don’t fight for this love, just let it erode

You only say you miss me when I start to fade

And suddenly, I’m someone you want to save

But where were you when I broke in the dark?

Holding this distance like it wasn’t that hard

Ten hours away…

But I’m the only one feeling far

---

It’s not the miles that pulled us apart

It’s the silence, the waiting, the one-sided heart

I can’t keep loving for both of us here

So I’ll be the one to disappear

---

I’m done being the one who always believes

That love survives without both hearts in the ring

You only say you need me when I’m walking away

But love shouldn’t beg, and I can’t stay

'Cause I broke trying to hold what you let fall apart

And ten hours away…

Was just proof you were never that far from letting go
