Emotional Distance

EMOTIONAL DISTANCE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You never seem to let me see you cry

You turn away and let the tears roll

Down your face each drop falls

And I can't seem to let it go

You keep your distance from me

This distance is emotionally 

And I just don't understand it

Haven't I been good to you?

Am I not a fine enough man?

Haven't I done the things you want me to?

Still, you run away when you can

You never seem to let me hold you close

Even in the darkest night

I try my best as the story goes

You only put up a fight 

You keep your distance from me

This distance is emotionally 

And I just don't understand it

You keep your distance from me

Going through the motions physically

Is this the way you planned it?

I know you keep his memory inside

Shutting me out in the process

To secret places where you and him hide

You and me equals loveless

Haven't I been good to you?

Am I not a fine enough man?

Haven't I done the things you want me to?

Still, you run away when you can

Haven't I been good to you?

Do all the things that you want me to?

Yet in my love you still can't believe

You turn away from me

I turn away from you

I realize now I'm just hanging on

You let it go so soon and easily

Even though I continue to completely refuse 

You still turn away from me

Haven't I been good to you?

Do all the things that you want me to?

Still somehow I can't believe

You turn away from me

You turn away from me

You turn away from me

I turn away from you
