To breathe
Doesn't make it easier to exist
When every breath I take
Puts my heart at stake of shattering again

To see
Doesn’t make the darkness brighter
When every truth in sight
Brings a burning blight
Threatening my shadow

But in the distance between the seconds
I found something greater still
I found you
My mysterious acquaintance

To hear
Doesn't make the silence disappear
When every word I fear
That brings me close to tears
Is still out there

To know
Doesn't make it easier to believe
When everything you say
Only brings me pain
Of the sweetest kind

But in the distance between the seconds
I found something greater still
I found you
My mysterious acquaintance

And in the in the distance between our secrets
I found something greater still
I found you
My suffering companion
