Justin Townes Earle - Farther from Me lyrics

Wish I could say that I know you ‘Cause lord, I wanna understand Need you to know there's nothing I want more in this world as a man There's none greater than time And I'm sure no one knows better than you Sometimes I wonder if you realize who you're talking to Ah but you won't break my heart again, no Broke it once, I was too young And it didn't mend I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs And now after all this time You're still slipping farther from me So many nights, so all alone Coast to coast haunted by the ghosts of a child's hopes So if you have any heart If you've any heart at all now Then you'll just sit right back down and listen to me talk I've tried and I've tried to forget but I just know I'll never be that young again I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs Now after all this time You're still slipping farther from me It's cold out there, isn't it? Still say you have no regrets but Cold ain't the half of it Just wait for the night and the loneliness I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs And now after all this time You're still slipping farther from me I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs Now after all these years You're still slipping farther from me
