Six feet away

Six feet away, I reach for you
But I can’t get through
The pervading pain, ‘cause you’re under my shoe
‘Cause I lost you
So long ago and you don’t know
A damn thing about the world I’m living in,
I’m still forgiving you
For never seeing me, before you had to go
Six feet away and I can’t get through to you

I know you had to leave
It was your time to go to a better place
I was so naïve
Sometimes I still see your face
Sometimes I still miss your smell
I hope that you’re doing well

Six feet away, I reach for you
But I can’t get through
The pervading pain, ‘cause you’re under my shoe
‘Cause I lost you
So long ago and you don’t know
A damn thing about the world I’m living in,
I’m still forgiving you
For never seeing me, before you had to go
Six feet away and I can’t get through to you

Life’s so short, I wish for more
Maybe a little more time here and you wouldn’t ignore
My affection for you, you may see that I’m torn
But I’ll live on; you’ll be a memory
You’ll be a part of me
Maybe a part of what I used to be
When I move on and you’re long gone

Six feet away, I reach for you
But I can’t get through
The pervading pain, ‘cause you’re under my shoe
‘Cause I lost you
So long ago and you don’t know
A damn thing about the world I’m living in,
I’m still forgiving you
For never seeing me, before you had to go
Six feet away and I can’t get through to you

You don’t remember the party you were so drunk
You don’t remember the couch at the friend’s house where we bunked
I woke up and I had to go to work
You got sober, thought that I was just a jerk
If you ever find the pictures and you remember more
You know where to find me I’m above you, just a floor

Six feet away, I reach for you
But I can’t get through
The pervading pain, ‘cause you’re under my shoe
‘Cause I lost you
So long ago and you don’t know
A damn thing about the world I’m living in,
I’m still forgiving you
For never seeing me, before I had to go
Six feet away and I can’t get through to you
