From Afar

“From Afar”
Verse 1

We were wildfire in the summer,
Burnin’ bright but burnin’ fast.
Two hearts trying to outrun
Every shadow from the past.
You had dreams that needed flyin’,
I had roots I couldn’t leave.
We were pages in a story
That the world wasn’t ready to read.

Pre-Chorus

But I still see your smile
In the quiet of the dawn.
Love ain’t always holdin’ on…
Sometimes it’s lettin’ go and movin’ on.

Chorus

So I’ll keep you safe from afar,
Wish you the best wherever you are.
I’ll cheer for your wins,
Fight off your storms
Even if I can’t be in your arms.
Some loves don’t fade,
They just learn where they are…
And mine will always guard you
From afar.

Verse 2 (Updated)

If I see you in the bar or the bank,
I’ll smile like nothing’s changed.
But inside, it’s tearing me apart
To know we’ll never be the same.
I’ll walk home slow through the quiet streets,
Wide awake through the sleepless nights.
We were perfect in the moment—
Just not perfect in the time.

Pre-Chorus

And I still hear your laughter
In the wind across the yard.
Guess love is louder
When it’s spoken from the heart.

Chorus

So I’ll keep you safe from afar,
Wish you the best wherever you are.
I’ll cheer for your wins,
Fight off your storms
Even if I can’t be in your arms.
Some loves don’t fade,
They just learn where they are…
And mine will always guard you
From afar.

Bridge (Strengthened)

There’ll be nights I lie awake
Wonderin’ what we could’ve been.
And the hurt will come in waves
But I’ll ride every one again.
If this is all we get,
It’s still more than most will find—
A love that lingers
Long after goodbye.

Final Chorus

So I’ll keep you safe from afar,
Wish you the best wherever you are.
You’ll be in my prayers,
In every sunrise,
In every beat of my stubborn heart.
Some loves move on,
But some stay where they are…
And mine will always guard you
From afar.
