One Less Reason - The Distance lyrics

And since you've been gone Ive 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 Years spent alone But I couldn't stay Once I lost my soul Found my way Back to the place I started with you Where we realized What we would do With 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 promise I made You did nothing wrong But you were ashamed But when I heard they would give you away Well, I had to do whats best for you Say it, say what you needed to say You know you'll feel better now And hate me, hate me for all of the ways I let you down In search of you i lost myself I lost myself Don't you feel better now? And I come to save you But I couldn't remember your face So I close my eyes And call 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 promise I made You did nothing wrong But you were ashamed But when i heard they would give 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 were 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 promise 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 do whats best for you (Well, I had to do whats 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
