Lyrics

And I’ll be loving you from afar,

You don’t have to worry no more,

You don’t have to worry no more,

From this moment on,

I’ll be loving you from afar,

If only you knew how much I loved who you are,

Loving you, from afar,

Gotta protect my energy,

Missing out on chances for new memories,

We both losing,

And I can’t control who my relatives,

But I can control who my family is,

Mhm, those the ones I embrace,

You’re my blood so I thought it was safe,

Now it’s different,

Not a lot of kicking it,

You passed on the visits,

Think it’s clear and apparent that we need a little distance

Between us,

You was all about division,

Had to subtract myself

And now there’s an addition for me,

And now it’s funny,

Crazy how the math works,

Wouldn’t wish this on nobody,

Cause this path hurts,

Now the doors locked,

Soul music off,

Couldn’t put a price on what the truth would cost,

Tired of you letting new people change you,

Never really got the chance to thank you

You gave me clarity,

Had to give myself some space

And learn to love you from a distance

Gotta love you from a distance

Had to give myself a break,

And learn to love you from a distance

(From a distance)

Ooohhh from a distance

It gotta feel like you’re buried alive,

When you’re ruled by your ego and pride,

See you living day to day,

Full of pain,

You try to keep it inside,

Internalizing as a means to survive

I don’t think that’s really healthy,

But at this point, who am I?

Driving one car on a two way at a time,

I can only do my part,

And live with the rest,

Gotta take it how it come,

Ain’t no reason to stress

Man, I used to call you my twin,

Cause we been running with each other since kids,

Never called you my friend,

You was my brother,

Embraced you as kin,

Through all of that,

I guess you cool with things the way that it is,

Man,

It’s unfortunate cause we was in the same mode,

Same hunger,

Had us living by the same code,

Too obsessed with having other people rank you,

Never really got the chance to thank you

You gave me clarity

(Thank you)

Had to give myself some space

And learn to love you from a distance

Gotta love you from a distance

Had to give myself a break,

And learn to love you from a distance

(From a distance)

Ooohhh from a distance

Ooohhh yeah
