Distance - Ellington

I've been reaching for the highest shelves
Reading the oldest books
But I still don't feel intelligent and I'd smile if I could
You're the only face I'd ever miss
The one that makes me smile
I'm distraught about the way you left
In the city lovers die
They assessed how much I loved you and it's too much to give a grade
She's the type of girl
If you were homeless you'd give all your change
All your change
All your change
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from everything
Away from everyone
I can feel the weight of my decisions pinching at my spine
I've become my own worst enemy
This smiles hiding lies
If I could I'd cramp the distance that's made our hearts grow weak
You're the only thing I'll always ever miss but never get to meet
And I can't breathe without you close
And I'm sick of all my clothes
I'm fighting things a bit too much
I'm fighting things a bit too much
A bit too much
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from everything
Away from everyone
Away from everyone
Away from everyone
I wish you all the best
I'll miss you
You're the best
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
No I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from anyone
Away from everyone
Girl the distance will come between us
Don't you laugh
Girl the distance will come between us don't you laugh
