We started out with stars in our eyes

You were the calm in all my chaos, the safest place to hide

But love got heavy, and we both got tired

Of trying to fix what was slowly dying

We held on longer than we should

Said things we didn’t mean, misunderstood

I still remember the last time you cried

I didn’t know it’d be our last goodbye

Now I watch you from a distance

Like you were never mine to miss

But every laugh that sounds like yours

Feels like a cut I can’t resist

And when I pass by where we used to be

I feel your ghost right next to me

It’s not over, but it can’t be fixed

We’re a maybe that’ll never stick

No contact, no calls, just space

But I still trace your name in empty places

My friends don’t say your name out loud

But I still hear it in every crowd

I wonder if you ever look for me too

Or if your heart moved on like I wanted you to

But truth is, I lied when I said I was fine

’Cause losing you still don’t feel like time

So I watch you from a distance

Trying not to feel this much

But every sunset feels like us

Like something beautiful we had to give up

And when I see someone who wears your scent

It’s like reliving what we never meant

We’re a silence I still listen to

A love that almost made it through

Sometimes I dream you’re reaching back

Saying maybe, just maybe, we still have a chance

But morning comes, and it fades away

Like every good thing we couldn’t save

Now I watch you from a distance

With a heart that still remembers

Every kiss, every fight

Every fragile, burning ember

And I break a little every time

Someone reminds me you were mine

We were everything and then… just gone

But a piece of you still lingers on

We were love that didn’t last

A future lost inside the past

I still carry you, even if I can’t

Have you back…

From a distance
