Ellington - Distance Lyrics

I've been reaching for the highest shelves, reading the oldest books
But I still don't feel intelligent, I'd smile if I could
You're the only face I'll ever miss, the one that makes me smile
I'm distraught about the way you left, in the city lovers die
They assessed how much I loved you, it's too much to give a grade
She's the type of girl, if you were homeless, you'd give all your change
All your change
All your change

I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself, now you're gone
And I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Cause I feel so far
Away from everything
Away from everyone

I can feel the weight of my decision pinching at my spine
I've become my own worst enemy, this smile's hiding lies
And if I could I'd cramp the distance, that's made our hearts grow weak
You're the only face I'll ever miss, but never get to meet
And I can't breathe without you close
And I'm sick of all my clothes
I'm finding things a bit too much
Im finding things a bit too much
A bit too much

I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself, now you're gone
And I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Cause I feel so far
Away from everything
Away from everyone
Away from everyone
Away from everyone

I'm done feeling sorry for myself
No I feel sorry for myself, now you're gone
And I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Cause I feel so far
Away from everything
Away from everyone

Away from everyone
