Unraveling Love's Distance: Nick Naomi's Reflections on Failed Connections
Lyrics
We choose whats best for us
We make choices based on what is best for ourselves.
The best that we could do
Our actions are the best efforts we can put forth.
The fault of mine
The responsibility or mistake is mine.
The love I've failed
I have failed in expressing love.
And I will pay for my mistakes
I will face the consequences of my mistakes.
It hurts 'til you see
Pain continues until understanding dawns.
I'm not great company
I am not enjoyable or pleasant to be with.
Habits of mine
My habits have caused harm over time.
Have hurt us with time
I acknowledge that my actions have hurt us over time.
I swear I'll repair it
I promise to fix and mend the situation.
Is that what you want me to say?
Asking if the expressed desire for repair is what is expected.
But I dont care
Expressing a lack of concern or indifference.
We never closed the distance
We never bridged the emotional gap.
We just grew distant
We simply became more emotionally distant.
We shift the blame to someone else
Blaming others for the emotional distance.
Now resentment's all I feel
Feeling only resentment now.
We never closed the distance
Reiterating the emotional distance that remained.
We just grew distant
We just became emotionally distant.
500 miles apart
Despite physical distance, emotional separation persists.
And I guess that never changed
Acknowledging that the physical distance hasn't changed.
I'm only lonely, yeah I know
Expressing loneliness and self-awareness.
This love has found its end
Recognizing the end of the relationship.
Your jealous lies
Your untrue suspicions and accusations.
My distant mind
My mind being distant or detached.
You never let me be me
Feeling restricted or not allowed to be oneself.
Im sorry I don't think
Apologizing for the inability to think that caring ever existed.
We ever cared
Doubting if genuine care was ever present.
We never closed the distance
Reiterating the emotional distance that persisted.
We just grew distant
We simply became more emotionally distant.
We shift the blame to someone else
Blaming others for the emotional distance.
Now resentment's all I feel
Feeling only resentment now.
We never closed the distance
Reiterating the emotional distance that remained.
We just grew distant
We just became emotionally distant.
500 miles apart
Despite physical distance, emotional separation persists.
And I guess that never changed
Acknowledging that the physical distance hasn't changed.
