199 Miles

For all of the trouble I give
There's enough mess ups to not win
You're sleeping and tossing from time to time
My insomnia gets worse from night to night
I really try to treat you right
I really try to learn how to love
Sometimes it seems like you're going to give up
Never once have I felt like your the one made for me
And never once have I felt an emotion stronger for you, there's not much empathy
Yet you grow on me like moss on a tree
Your starting to run like a vine throughout the days
Seems like the more that I cut the more that you grow
I never think to leave, cause where I go you go
Your a typical girl, but you don't tolerate my nonsense
We act like we're together
But yet again we're still kids
There's always a lot to say but with you its never said
I haven't seen you in 4 weeks and i'm learning to miss
What seemed I thought I never had
The times your upset you seem to understand
Your try to figure me out, but you just can't
And as simple as this seems to me, to you, you'll over think
You'll probably want to cuss me out, but not because your angry
I let off as wanting to be left alone
But you're always lingering nearby
I know your one hundred and ninety-nine miles away
But i'll still be here for you when you decide to cry
Its the little things that mean the most in the end
Its the little things that annoy me yet you carry on and I can't win
One hundred and ninety-nine miles
That's the distance i've left to your heart
I may never give you mine, your just to not sure of anything, so we'll probably end up apart
As a boy I would've left by now
But I'm becoming a man and that just seems to work some how
It works, we're making the oddest thing work
I may just have to walk those one hundred and ninety-nine miles
Walk them just for the gift of seeing you smile.
