Love at a Distance

[Verse 1]

I must have misunderstood when you told me you didn’t want any tension

I was walking on the fire you were burning just so I could get your attention

Did I mention

You have the prettiest face I’ve ever seen

I’m doing everything to get you close to me

I should’ve told you this sooner before she

Took you away

[Chorus]

I know you better than you know yourself

Can’t believe you didn’t notice but I’m always looking out for you

I tried to love you when I didn’t know how

But now I know

I’ve kept these feelings in for so damn long

I could show you that I’m worth it but you’ve never given me a chance

Not being with you’s never felt so wrong

But for now I’ll have to love you from a distance

[Verse 2]

Do you ever look at me in the way that I look at you when you’re excited?

Am I ever the last thought that you think right before you lay down and go to bed?

Am I wasting

All the time that I could use to write theses words?

Knowing that you’ll never be mine

Damn it hurts

There’s way too many tears that have stained all of my shirts

I’ve gotta say

[Chorus]

I know you better than you know yourself

Can’t believe you didn’t notice but I’m always looking out for you

I tried to love you when I didn’t know how

But now I know

I’ve kept these feelings in for so damn long

I could show you that I’m worth it but you’ve never given me a chance

Not being with you’s never felt so wrong

But for now I’ll have to love you from a distance

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

I know you better than you know yourself

Can’t believe you didn’t notice but I’m always looking out for you

I tried to love you when I didn’t know how

But now I know

I’ve kept these feelings in for so damn long

I could show you that I’m worth it but you’ve never given me a chance

Not being with you’s never felt so wrong

But for now I’ll have to love you from a distance
