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 but 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, but now I know
It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
To love you from a distance (ah-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 but 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, but now I know
It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
To love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)

I hate that I still miss you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
I wish I could forget you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
I hate that I still miss you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
I wish I could forget you (ah-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 but 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, but now I know
It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
To love you from a distance
