Distance From Heaven
Wanting you is easy
Sometimes being friends I find so hard to do
Beneath the ember of lies lives a fire
If I’m to tell the truth
I don’t mean to push you away
I’m trying to protect my heart from hurt
You’re an Angel, my weakness, and my purpose
You’re a blessing on this earth
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
I tell myself maybe someday knowing damn well
I only fool myself
Everyday it gets harder
Putting feelings back upon the shelf
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
Please be patient give me time
I have to face this pain on my own
This ain’t the first time and I’m guessing
It only ends when my names upon a stone
I’m living while dying thinking of
All the seeds we could have sown
Another sunrise another sunsets on the one
I’ve never got to know
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
I tell myself maybe someday knowing damn well
I only fool myself
Everyday it gets harder
Putting feelings back upon the shelf
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
I know right from wrong
But sometimes I’m not as strong as I should be
I’m here just like always and you bet
I’m never gonna leave
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
I tell myself maybe someday while knowing
I only fool myself
Everyday it gets harder
Putting feelings back upon the shelf
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close without touching you is hell
I keep my distance from heaven
Cause being too close while loving you is hell
