Distant

You say you miss me every night

But your voice don’t sound the same

There’s a distance in your silence

That your words can’t explain

You used to light up when we talked

Now it's just a faded spark

Like you’re smiling through a window

With a padlock on your heart

You say I'm still the one you love

But I feel it slipping slow

You're sweet when you’re around me

But colder on the phone

You swear that nothing's different

But I know it in my bones

You say you're mine completely

But you're different when you're gone

I ask you how your day has been

You just say “it’s fine” and pause

Like you're hiding parts of you

That I don’t get to touch at all

You used to laugh and pull me close

Now you're guarded with your grace

And I can't help but wonder

If I’m being replaced

You say I'm still the one you love

But I feel it slipping slow

You're warm when we're together

But colder on the phone

You swear that nothing's different

But I know it in my bones

You say you're mine completely

But you're different when you're gone

Maybe it's the miles

Or the days that drag too long

But I’m tired of pretending

That nothing's going wrong

If you’re drifting, just be honest

I can take it, I’ll be strong

But don’t keep saying “always”

If your heart won’t tag along

You say I'm still the one you love

But the feeling doesn’t grow

You kiss me through the static

But your eyes don’t ever show

You swear that nothing’s changed

But I feel so alone

You say you're still the same

But you’re different when you're gone

Yeah, you’re different when you’re gone...

And I don’t know where I belong.
