lyrics

Who knew you were the Distance Man
With all that love to give
Who knew that you would sideline me when life got tough to live
Who knew that all I shared with you could be left in the dust
Who knew God knows not me
I was too busy trusting us
Who knows why you would push me back when you should draw me near
Who knew that you would change my world with passion and with fear
I didn't know you were so scared with all your hidden blue
How could I know
I was too busy loving all of you
Bridge
If I had seen the depths that pain has plowed into your heart
If for one minute I had known that we could never start
If I had thought I could have walked away and left your pain
I would still choose to love you fully all over again
So here I stand alone and tall
My only thought is why
If only you had faced the past and then had let it die
Instead you gave it power
You are clasped within its hand
A willing hostage nonetheless
No ransom in demand
I'm powerless to give you love if you can't feel the rage
I'm powerless to love you while your heart is in a cage
I can't vanquish the demons with their claws that hold you tight
I can only stand beside you when you free them in the night
