Growing Distance
The welts became redder
The scars became deeper
The blood flowed harder
And the pain got stronger
Know I have to be stronger
Know I got to get through
So I held my head up high
Acted as If everything was fine
Acted as if it didn't bother me
But it killed me inside
Hate being away from you
Hate as the distance between us grow
Hope we survive this
Hope we get through
Don't know what's going to happen this time
How can I fix this?
What can I do?
Praying for the best
Expecting the worst
