Skywalker - The Distance Between Us Lyrics

I'm jealous of the moon
That watches over you at night
It's closer than I ever was
When I held you tight

I'm jealous of the breeze
That whispers through your hair
It dances where my hands once touched
Now I'm just left here

And I hoped you'd come around
Find your way back somehow
But you're out there smiling
And I can't help but drown

I wished you nothing but peace
When you said you had to leave
But deep inside, I prayed you'd find
A reason to need me
Now I'm standing in the shadow
Of the love we used to be
It's so hard to admit, I'm jealous
Of the way you're free without me

I'm jealous of the sun
That kisses your face each day
It warms you like I used to
In our brighter, sweeter days

I'm jealous of the stars
That get to see you shine
They're holding you in moments
That were once only mine

I thought you'd see the cracks
In the life you chose to lead
But you're out there laughing
While I fall apart, unseen

I wished you nothing but peace
When you said you had to leave
But deep inside, I prayed you'd find
A reason to need me
Now I'm standing in the shadow
Of the love we used to be
It's so hard to admit, I'm jealous
Of the way you're free without me

The distance keeps growing
And I can't close the space
I thought I'd see you turning back
But all I see's your fading trace

And I die a little more
Each time you find a smile
Guess I'll never hear you say
I've missed you all this while

I wished you nothing but peace,When you said you had to leave
But deep inside, I prayed you'd find
A reason to need me
Now I'm standing in the shadow
Of the love we used to be
It's so hard to admit, I'm jealous
Of the way you're free without me

Yeah, it's hard to admit
I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
