Lyric

We live in miles, not minutes

So all we have are words

No warmth of skin to fix it

When something hurts

Every sentence weighs heavier

When I can’t see your face

If we were closer, maybe

The scars would fade

I’m not trying to blame you

I’m not standing above

I know I’ve hurt you too

Without meaning to, my love

I don’t want to hurt you

I just want you whole

Not for me — for your future

For the life you’ll hold

I chose you long before

You ever chose me back

Even if we never touch

My love doesn’t crack

I love you

Even without your arms

I love you

Even from afar

It might sound foolish

Saying this out loud

We’re not even together

But hear me now

I decided long ago

You’re the last name in my heart

Whether I’m beside you

Or breaking apart

Your words can be careless

But your soul is kind

Don’t let small moments

Dim that light

I don’t want to change you

Just help you see

You’re too beautiful

To bleed yourself with words you don’t mean

I see your loneliness

Your fear, your scars

I’d hold them all

If you’d let me start

Can’t you feel it?

We’re still here

Still breathing

Through the fear

I love you

Even without touch

I love you

Even when it’s rough

We’re still connected

Even now

Tell me you feel it

Somehow

Still connected

Still here

Even now
