Love You From a Distance

I could never say we could go back and be how we used to

But every time I think back to late summer in July, I still miss you

And now our families don't even say a word

I used to come over every Friday after work

But that was before all the pain you caused me

And all the lies you told, it's haunting

I still see your face when I go to sleep

I'll always love you, will you always love me?

I hate that all these memories are so persistent, and now I know

I know, I know

I know how hard it is to move on with my life

When all of these daydreams come back to me at night

I hate that it'll take time to forget this, and now I know

It's better to love you from a distance

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

To love you from a distance

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

Remember when I'd drive you home 'cause you didn't have your license

We were windows down cruising, thinking, "Damn, I really like him"

And then I went out and got a new car

So it didn't break down when we would drive too far

But that was before all the rain started falling

And summer turned into autumn

I still see your face when I go to sleep

I'll always love you, will you always love me?

I hate that all these memories are so persistent, and now I know

I know, I know

I know how hard it is to move on with my life

When all of these daydreams come back to me at night

I hate that it'll take time to forget this, and now I know

It's better to love you from a distance

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

To love you from a distance

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

I hate that I still miss you

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

I wish I could forget you

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

I hate that I still miss you

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

I wish I could forget you

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

I still see your face when I go to sleep

I'll always love you, will you always love me?

I hate that all these memories are so persistent, and now I know

I know how hard it is to move on with my life

When all of these daydreams come back to me at night

I hate that it'll take time to forget this, and now I know

It's better to love you from a distance

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

To love you from a distance
