Whiskey glass on the windowsill

Your voice through the phone, static and still

You say you're faithful, I want to believe

But doubt plants seeds that I can't relieve

There's miles between us, darlin'

And shadows growing long

The distance breeds these demons

That tell me something's wrong

I'm holdin' onto promises

You're slippin' through my hands

This love that burned so bright

Is dying where we stand

Late night calls grow few and far

New friends' names like shots to my heart

Each passing day puts rust on our chain

Your laughter sounds different, tinged with pain

Found a ticket stub in your drawer

Name of a bar I've never heard before

The truth in your eyes doesn't match your words

Like watching a storm through a cage of birds

I built my world around your return

Now I'm watching those bridges burn

Jealousy's poison, I've drunk it all down

Now we're both just wearing a crown of thorns

There's miles between us, darlin'

But now they're here to stay

The distance killed our loving

There's nothing left to say

I'm letting go of promises

You already set free

This love that burned so bright

Was never meant to be
