couldnt take the distance

as good as i felt
when things were good
i just couldnt take the distance

it drained me
i didnt know how to make it better
and you were fading
i could actually see you drifting away
slipping through my fingers

and i knew this isnt what you wanted
you wanted to live in a cabin
and have kids with me
maybe by the beach

you wouldnt go the distance
so how could i stay
i couldnt take it
