Lyrics

I was so damn broken
All I knew to do was break things
When I had what I wanted
I'd sabotage and shake things
And the love we cultivated
Could never be enough
So I turned all of it to hatred
Just to look tough
Here I sit all these years later
My kid asks why I'm mad
And I look into his face
I see everything I have
But I can't answer with a truth
That convinces him or me
So I mumble through some lame excuse 
About jealousy
'Cause he's too young to comprehend
All of the nuance of the heart
But he sees that I am lying
And it's sad that that's the start
'Cause I want to be transparent 
All I want to do is share
But he's got hope and I can't crush that
It's a lot to bear
But you
You're so far away
Remembering me is a lot to ask
Did you tell her about our past?
And you
You're just sailing by
And I can't listen to you long enough
For hints about our love
The fact is if I tell him
Then I have to tell myself
And I'm not ready for that sorrow 
He's not ready for what I felt
About you and me and everything
We barely even had
But I got a scar so deep it keeps me up
And makes me mad
But you 
You're so far away
Turned our stories into songs
You exposed my wrongs
And you
You're just sailing by
Took my heart and my pain
And made it your fame
It's been more years now
Than I can fit into my brain
But the small time I spent with you
Instilled a life of change
And I've been chasing an apology
I don't think I deserve
But for the grace that it would grant me
Oh, it's worth it
But I'm glad that things worked out
The way they did for both of us
See, my man and I are more than dreams
And I know you found your love
But I saw you sold your tour bus
I'll admit that I was glad
'Cause you took all my luck when we broke up
And God damn I want it back
'Cause you
You're so far away
Turned our stories into songs
You exposed my wrongs
Yeah, you
You're just sailing by
Took my heart and my pain
And made it your fame, yeah
You
I get why you're gone
We never could have made it last
It's good you held fast
Yeah, you
You're just sailing by
On an ocean we both swim
'Cause of you I now have him
But can I please be free
Of this
