Song Description

When the 'distance' appears from nowhere and you realise you're living with a stranger...

Lyrics

We used to linger in the doorway just to steal another kiss,
Laughing over nothing, finding magic in all this.
Now the evenings feel much longer, though you're sitting next to me,
And the warmth that once was shining isn't something I can see.

You used to reach for me at midnight just to say you couldn't sleep,
Now you turn the other way and let the silence settle deep.
I keep searching for a moment when your eyes would meet with mine,
But the spark that lit our world has slowly slipped behind the line.

(Chorus)
You don't look at me the same,
Don't say my name the way you used to say it.
You don't hold me when it rains,
Don't chase the dark away the way you'd do.
And I'm trying not to break,
But I feel the distance growing every day.
You don't look at me the same --
And I don't know what to say.

We used to dance around the kitchen, barefoot on the wooden floor,
Now the music feels too heavy, and we barely talk anymore.
I keep hoping for a moment when you'll pull me close again,
But the echoes of our laughter feel like strangers in the wind.

(Bridge)
Maybe love just changes shape,
Maybe hearts just drift away.
But if there's something left to save,
Tell me now before it fades.
I'm still holding on to us --
Are you holding on at all?

(Chorus)
You don't look at me the same,
Don't say my name the way you used to say it.
You don't hold me when it rains,
Don't chase the dark away the way you'd do.
And I'm trying not to break,
But I feel the distance growing every day.
You don't look at me the same --
And I don't know what to say.

Still I'm standing in the doorway where our story used to shine,
Wishing love could find its footing, wishing you were still mine.
If there's still a chance to reach you, let it show in just one glance --
'Cause I miss the way you loved me when we still believed in chance.
