My Love

Verse 1

We were barely fifteen, talkin’ ‘bout forever

Sneakin’ smiles, fallin’ asleep together

Didn’t have a label, didn’t need a name

Every little moment felt bigger than our age

You were everything I didn’t know to ask

Soft laughter, hoodie sleeves, movie nights and laughs

But somewhere along the line I lost my ground

Did things my heart couldn’t figure out

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t know who I was supposed to be

So I disappeared instead of speakin’ honestly

Chorus

So I faded out slow, didn’t slam the door

Left you standin’ there wantin’ more

Now five months gone, I finally see

I wasn’t scared of you—I was scared of me

I miss the games, the nights, the way we’d talk

But I won’t say a word, no, I won’t cross that line

I’ll love you from a quiet distance this time

Verse 2

Now you’re happy with someone new

And he’s a good guy, I can tell it’s true

I don’t wanna be the reason things get tense

Don’t wanna break what finally makes sense

I don’t want your heart back in my hands

I just want those simple plans

Controllers passed, movies paused

Laughin’ ‘til we forgot the cause

Pre-Chorus

Funny how clarity comes too late

When you finally learn to separate

Chorus

So I faded out slow, didn’t slam the door

Left you standin’ there wantin’ more

Now five months gone, I finally see

I wasn’t scared of you—I was scared of me

I miss the games, the nights, the way we’d talk

But I won’t say a word, no, I won’t cross that line

I’ll love you from a quiet distance this time

Bridge

If I spoke now, I’d just cause pain

Turn good intentions into rain

So I’ll grow in silence, carry the truth

That lovin’ you meant lettin’ you choose

Final Chorus

You were right for me at the wrong time

And that truth still cuts like a line

I changed too late, and that’s on me

But I’m proud of who you’ve grown to be

So I’ll hold the memories, let ‘em stay

Without pullin’ you back my way

I miss you, yeah—but I’ll be fine

Lovin’ you from a quiet distance this time
