Distance
And since you’ve been gone, I’ve been away
From here and now, from yesterday
The lies that it took, to keep you around
So I held you here
We talked about, a life of sin, giving in and how sometimes
Even God forgets
And I come to save you
But I couldn’t remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do whats best for you
So I had to do whats best for you
Years spent alone but I couldn’t stay
Once I lost my soul and found my way
Back to the place, I started with you
When we realized what we would do
With a mended heart, a brand new start
And the words back we never meant to say
And I come to save you
But I couldn’t remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do whats best for you
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promises I made
You did nothing wrong, but you felt ashamed
But when I heard that they gave you away
Well, I had to do whats best for you
Say it, say what you needed to say
You know you will feel better now
And hate me, hate me for all of the ways
I let you down
In search of you I found myself (I lost myself)
I lost myself
But don’t you feel better now
And I come to save you
But I couldn’t remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do whats best for you
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promises I made
You did nothing wrong, but you were ashamed
But when I heard that they gave you away
Well, I had to do whats best for you
And I come to save you, but I couldn’t remember your face
(I couldn’t remember)
So I close my eyes and call out your name
(I call out your name)
And when I found you, you where slipping away
(You were slipping away)
So I had to do whats best for you
(You know I had to do whats best for you)
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promises I made
You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
(You did nothing wrong)
But when I heard they just gave you away
(And when I found)
Well I had to what’s best for you
(Well I had to do what’s best for you)
And I come to save you
(I come to save you)
But I couldn’t remember your face
(I couldn’t remember)
So i closed my eyes
(I close my eyes)
And called out your name
And when i found you
(When I found you)
You were slipping away
(You were gone)
So I had to do whats best for you
The lies that they gave you
The same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong
But always to blame
Even though you’ve forgotten my name
Oh, I would still do whats best for you

Everything Changes
You found yourself in love again
I found myself in between where I could breathe
The last goodbye and your closest friend
You took the easy way out on the ones
Who stood their ground for you
And it’s just not enough to say that you will try
When you got caught in a lie
And I’ll still love you the same
If everything changes
And I just need you to know how
Everything’s gonna be fine
And if you lose your way
I’ll be right here waiting
I’ll still love you the same
Even if everything changes
You never thought you were giving in
You traded what you want for what you need
From the day you start to your bitter end
You said “this just don’t feel right when there’s no one left to fight”
And it’s just not enough to say that you will try
When you got caught in a lie
And I’ll still love you the same
If everything changes
And I just need you to know how
Everything’s gonna be fine
And if you lose your way
I’ll be right here waiting
I’ll still love you the same
Even if everything changes
If you know what you got then it can’t be a lot
You’re thinking now that you’re sober
They’re coming back for you
And I’ll still love you the same
If everything changes
And I just need you to know how
Everything’s gonna be fine
And if you lose your way
I’ll be right here waiting
And I’ll still love you the same
Even if everything…
I’ll still love you the same
Everything changes
And I just need you to know
Everything’s gonna be fine
And if you lose your way
I’ll be right here waiting
I’ll still love you the same
I’ll still love you the same

Where Did You Go?
I heard that you were finally coming home
Maybe it’s just where you belong
You know it fits you like your favorite song
Helps you see through, to be youThe day you found the truth in a lie
It only took you over half of your life
To come clean, say you didn’t try
To see through, to be you
So many years have passed and I’ve been meaning to ask
Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn’t set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn’t breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn’t see
When you think of all the days that you missed
How you clenched all your words like a fist
Always looking for something to hit
Like your family, your friends
The times when you knew it was wrong
But you never thought you’d end up alone
Holding it in, letting it go
Saving yourself or letting it show
So many years have passed and I’ve been meaning to ask
Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn’t set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn’t breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn’t see
We burned it down, we made it new
I know, I know I failed you
When those four letters, they took your life
So much guilt that I couldn’t cry
The light in your eyes, the look on your face
The hole in your heart no one ever graced
Holding true to the promise you made
Waiting for God and the words to save you
The words to save you
I should have got it right on my first try
Where did you go?
What did you need?
You know I couldn’t set you free until I fixed this hole in me
Cause life, it hits so hard that I couldn’t breathe
When I was looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn’t see
Looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn’t see
Looking for a change in you, I found a change in me
That I couldn’t see
3. Where Did You Go
One Less Reason
Four Letter Words
It’s never coming back
It sure as hell won’t take your place
And no one told you the things you needed to know
And I’m not sorry now
The way you said I would be
And all the things you took and the things you left for me, for me
And I wish that it wasn’t so
If I could take it back, I don’t know
When everything is wrong and nothing feels right
And everyone has left, no one said goodbye
The days seem so lonely and I’ve never been this scared
This four letter word is all I have left, it’s all I have
Live it like you’re alive
Love it as if you were dying
The only way out is through the front door
How did it go so wrong?
Without me even knowing
Oh, you were biding your time and looking for your place in love, was it love?
And I wish that it wasn’t so
If I could take it back, I don’t know
When everything is wrong and nothing feels right
And everyone has left, no one said goodbye
The days seem so lonely and I’ve never been this scared
This four letter word is all I have left, it’s all I have
Love is for those who put their trust in it
Pain is for people who still have no worth
Hope is lost when there’s no need to give in
Hate is the word we always believed in
When everything is wrong and nothing feels right
And everyone has left, no one said goodbye
The days seem so lonely and I’ve never been this scared
And you were so strong you touched with no hands
And all the days that we missed, gonna find where they’ve been
I don’t care if you love me just say that I win
And I’ll try harder this time when I know that I’m right
You hung up the phone the night that God saved my life
And every new beginning comes from some other’s end
This four letter word, it’s all I have left, it’s all I have
Love is for those who put their trust in it
Pain is for people who still have no worth
Love is for those who put their trust in it
Pain is for people who still have no worth

Of all those words you could have chose
You just sat there silent
Of all those things I should have known
You just smiled and held your breath
You said these words would never save you
You said these lines could never change you
I know it means nothing to you
God it means everything to me
Cause I’m out here, still broken
Selling my soul so you would never end up alone
I’m focused enough to notice you
Had versions of the truth
One moment, it’s over
Hold back my fear cause I’m about to let go
Words so hard
Never let them know
About the four letter words
Behind the faces you show
You were lost, but you were home
You were drenched in violence
You were changed and all alone
They saved your life but kept you here
You said these words would never save you
You said these lines can never change you
I know it means nothing to you
God it means everything to me
Cause I’m out here, still broken
Selling my soul so you would never end up alone
I’m focused enough to notice you
Had versions of the truth
One moment, it’s over
Hold back my fear cause I’m about to let go
Words so hard
Never let them know
About the four letter words
Behind the faces you show
I pulled you closer to me
I held you down for so long
I felt when you couldn’t breathe
I was there when it went wrong
Cause I’m out here, still broken
Selling my soul so you would never end up alone
I’m focused enough to notice you
Had versions of the truth
One moment, it’s over
Hold back my fear cause I’m about to let go
Words so hard
Never let them know

Someday
I’d help you if you went down
I’d take your place if your soul’s for sale
But you weren’t coming around just to leave
I want to fall in love again
Maybe I could find a sucker or even a friend
I’d keep you around til I leave
You’re sensitive to all the sounds
Cause you feel pain like no one else
You’re gonna regret it all if you leave, if you leave
Was that the way they get back at you?
And how they all said “I’ll see you soon”
We close the door and we never do
We just leave, we just leave
Everyone says “best of intentions, they die with goodbye”
Well…
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday’s on its way
I know I’m wrong but I’m not changing
It’s harder to hold when it’s worth letting go
When it’s worth letting go
Do you remember the day, remember the song?
Remember how everything went wrong?
When you renewed your faith but you didn’t feel saved
You said to be a savior you’re taking so damn long
And it feels so wrong
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday’s on its way
I know I’m wrong but I’m not changing
It’s harder to hold, it’s harder to hold
When it’s worth letting go, when it’s worth letting go
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday’s on its way
I know I’m wrong but I’m not changing
It’s harder to hold when it’s worth letting go

If You Want Me
I know it’s not my place
To tell you what you’re doing wrong
Sometimes I think about your face
And there’s times that I don’t think of you at all
Chorus:
So tell me you need me and I will stay
You believe me and I will wait
That you’d come back for me every time I fall
In your heart there’s just no place
There’s no room to make a mistake
And with one wrong turn you would never make it home
I know you would never say
What I did that made you feel so small
Spent the whole year on my face
Now with a little help I’ll stand up on my own, my own
Chorus:
So tell me you need me and I will stay
You believe me and I will wait
That you’d come back for me every time I fall
In your heart there’s just no place
There’s no room to make a mistake
And with one wrong turn you would never make it home
Bridge:
If you want me
Then you got me
Just never leave me alone
Chorus:
So tell me you need me and I will stay
You believe me and I will wait

That you’ll always feel the same
That you’ll stand beside me even if you think I’m wrong
I was wrong
If you want me
Then you got me
Just never leave me alone…

If I said the wrong thing would you leave?
Though my fingers may break, I just can’t let you go
Don’t know why I believed you,
Not with that promise you made me just yesterday
Chorus:
I will always love you, take the me out of you
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out,
I love you and I need you
Til my heart stops beating,
I’ll never lose this feeling
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out
3:11 again
Though I’m not your best friend,
Don’t you see that I’d do anything to keep you with me
Close your eyes, hold on tight, spin around, it’s alright
Don’t you see my plans will always have you in them?
Chorus:
I will always love you, take the me out of you
A lot of people gonna be dissapointed when they find out,
I love you and I need you
Til my heart stops beating,

A Day To Be Alone
She said I wonder when it’ll be my day
‘Cause I’m not too far from breaking down
All I’ve got are screams inside
But somehow they come out in a smile
And I’m wondering if I’ll always feel this way, this way
Chorus:
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you’d rather die alone
Than being stuck here with me
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you just took the long way home
But baby you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, yeah me
One day you’re gonna see things my way
You gave me so much room that I can’t breathe
When all I’ve got are pictures to view
It was nothing before and I started with you
For some reason it’s supposed to be that way, that way
Chorus:
Tell me about those nights you stayed awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you’d rather die alone
Than being stuck here with me
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you just took the long way home
But baby you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, yeah me
Bridge:
If I could shrink it down and put it in your hands
We made it hurt so much, I can’t forget the past
Just tell me what to say, show me what to do
Then I could forgive me and I would forgive you
Chorus:
And maybe you’ve fallen down
And maybe you just took the long road home
But baby you will never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror you’ll see a smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me
You know will always be me, and I will wait
Always be me, til I see your smiling…
