Every Word Counts - Distant Memory Lyrics

You told me when you love someone, that you got to let them go
But my heart is meant for you, I use to call ya just to let you know
Don't give up on us now, we got too far to go
Those words I said back then, well they just haunt my soul
Wish I could turn back time and put us back on course
You're forever on my mind, I hope I've been on yours
Wish you were here by me, I'd give you what you need
But all I am right now is a distant memory
Want to know my biggest fear? I don't want to be alone
I've relived that kiss goodbye 'cause I wish I would have known
That's the last time I'd kiss your face
That's the last time I had some faith
Why'd ya do it to me? Why'd you let me go?
Thought our love was real, but what I didn't know
Is you were creeping on the low, ya wasted all our time
Stuck in the undertow in a place so undivine
Tried to play it off as fine, but broken was my mind
Broken was my heart, you had to go and find what was convenient
Wish I had seen it about the year before
I would have never left, I never needed more
And it's a shame, we had the perfect chemistry
But all you are right now's a distant memory
Distant memories that I wish that you still see
I'll be persistent 'til that day that you come back home to me
You've been lost inside my dreams, the Queen still needs her King
Your soul is searching, but it bleeds, I'll be here for you waiting

You told me when you love someone, that you got to let them go
But my heart is meant for you, I use to call ya just to let you know
Don't give up on us now, we got too far to go
Those words I said back then, well they just haunt my soul
Wish I could turn back time and put us back on course
You're forever on my mind, I hope I've been on yours
Wish you were here by me, I'd give you what you need
But all I am right now is a distant memory
Want to know my biggest fear? I don't want to be alone
I've relived that kiss goodbye 'cause I wish I would have known
That's the last time I'd kiss your face
That's the last time I had some faith
Why'd ya do it to me? Why'd you let me go?
Thought our love was real, but what I didn't know
Is you were creeping on the low, ya wasted all our time
Stuck in the undertow in a place so undivine
Tried to play it off as fine, but broken was my mind
Broken was my heart, you had to go and find what was convenient
Wish I had seen it about the year before
I would have never left, I never needed more
And it's a shame, we had the perfect chemistry
But all you are right now's a distant memory
Distant memories that I wish that you still see
I'll be persistent 'til that day that you come back home to me
You've been lost inside my dreams, the Queen still needs her King
Your soul is searching, but it bleeds, I'll be here for you waiting
