KEEPING MY DISTANCE

You told me that you never wanted to see me again

but my town is your town

and your places are my places

and my friends are your friends

and that means that I can't go anywhere

or be anywhere

that I want to be

but I still want to be there

so where does that leave me?

Looking in longingly from outside

while you live the life you choose

and I sit outside lonelily,

skulking about outside of town

keeping my distance

just to keep

my promise

to you...

for you.
