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
