Lyrics One Less Reason – The 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

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 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
