Farther From Me Lyrics - Absent Fathers - Justin Townes Earle

Wish I could say that I know you 

'Cause lord, I wanna understand 

Need you to know there's nothing I want more in this world as a man 

There's none greater than time 

And I'm sure no one knows better than you 

Sometimes I wonder if you realize who you're talking to 

Ah but you won't break my heart again, no 

Broke it once, I was too young 

And it didn't mend

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs 

And now after all this time 

You're still slipping farther from me 

So many nights, so all alone 

Coast to coast haunted by the ghosts of a child's hopes 

So if you have any heart 

If you've any heart at all now 

Then you'll just sit right back down and listen to me talk 

I've tried and I've tried to forget but 

I just know I'll never be that young again 

I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs 

Now after all this time 

You're still slipping farther from me 

It's cold out there, isn't it? 

Still say you have no regrets but 

Cold ain't the half of it 

Just wait for the night and the loneliness

I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs 

And now after all this time 

You're still slipping farther from me 

I've suffered for your foolish heart and your desperate needs 

Now after all these years 

You're still slipping farther from me
