Miles Ahead of Me

I've been in denial
I've been hiding like a kid
I try to list your imperfections
Shift the blame for what I did
I don't trust my excuses
They're just how I've learnt to live
Knowing I destroyed the shelter of our love
I can say I'm ready to learn
I've been chasing the answers
But I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me
In knowledge and love
Miles ahead of me
In courage and faith
Miles ahead of me
In truth and intent
Miles ahead of me
In kindness and strength
You're miles ahead of me
It wasn't my intention
That I used your precious time
You opened up your life
But i was holding on to mine
Returned your honest certainty
With panic and retreat
The fear defeats me everytime we speak
But I'm ready to learn
I've been chasing the answers
Still I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me
In knowledge and love
Miles ahead of me
In courage and faith
Miles ahead of me
In truth and intent
Miles ahead of me
In kindness and strength
How could anyone be so obsessed with freedom
I somehow still expected you to stay
But I'm ready to learn
I've been chasing the answers
Still I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me
