Through the distance

The pain cuts through my heart
When I open my eyes
When I wake up to realize and finally see
What I'm losing by choosing the life that I'm choosing

I know I will regret, and I already do
When I by myself feel the tears breaking through
One for each of you
And one

For every moment that we cannot share
For every day that I am not there
For every minute, every fraction of a second
I live in fear

That you won't miss me
That you'll forget me
Time slips away and you'll grow up to resent me
And even though I miss you

I won't forget you
I'll never get back the time that we lost
I cherish the moments we've had twice as much
No one can ever replace you
And no one ever will

For every moment that we cannot share
For every day that I am not there
For every minute, every fraction of a second
I live in fear

That my absence will take out its toll
That some day someone else will console you
No matter what I will never let go
I need you to know

That though I cannot see you
I still feel you
Though I cannot see you
I still feel you

Through the distance
If you won't miss me
If you'll forget me
If time slips away and you grow up to resent me

I will always miss you
I won't forget you
I'll never get back the time that we lost
I cherish the moments we've had twice as much
