2,000 Miles
by Crys Matthews

v1. We've been apart so long
it feels like years.
These miles almost don't matter -- I just can't get used to these tears.
And I don't want to reintroduce myself to you,
but, darling, if this keeps up I'm gonna have to.
I've missed your sweet smile, your love, your laughter, lips and kisses.
See I almost forgot how good our love felt.
And you're not even here to remind me.

ch. You didn't have to go 2,000 miles from here just to figure out if this love was good enough. And you don't have to come back to what you left behind because this time I'll find a way to forgive every last one of those miles, and make it right back to your arms.

v2. When we say goodbye
it feels just like I'm dying.
Even though I try to stay strong like nothing's wrong
the truth is I'm worried I'm too weak to
watch my heart get ripped apart and broken down.
I reach out to hold you in the middle of the night,
but you're clear across the country baby,
so all I wake to find it just a memory's touch.
I know we haven't grown apart, but just tell me when is this gonna stop hurting so much.

ch. You didn't have to go 2,000 miles from here just to figure out if this love was good enough. And you don't have to come back to what you left behind because this time I'll find a way to forgive every last one of those miles, and make it right back to your arms.

v3. Sitting in the airport waiting to fly back to the life we shared --
hating myself for not letting you see me cry,
not letting you know how much my heart is breaking.
And I'm shaking from sorry and heartache,
and I don't know how to start making this work,
but as long as you're loving me I'm fighting for you.
Then I know that it's worth it,
and, darling, we're gonna see our way through.
