I hear your breath through this telephone line
It is easing my stress, clearing my mind
But the distance is wide
It's too wide for love to survive (it's too wide for love to survive)

I hear you cry through this telephone line and it's breaking my heart
But you tore us apart when you went far and wide
This distance is killing me, baby come slide (baby come slide)

First things first I didn't say goodbye it was you
'Cause I could've held on for as long as we needed to
Cut my wrist and I see the blood that you needed from me
But even at my best I could never be what you need

Cry through the phone
You said that you're in LA all alone but I know that you lied
I can hear him by your side
Don't waste my time baby don't hit my line (don't hit my line)

I lie through the phone
I say that I am the only one home but she's sleeping right next to me
I cannot talk can you text me
Distance is getting the best of me (distance is getting the best of me)

First things first I didn't say goodbye it was you
'Cause I could've held on for as long as we needed to
Cut my wrist and I see the blood that you needed from me
But even at my best I could never be what you need
