### (Verse 1)
Three thousand miles of ocean, I thought it was the test
But I'm starting to understand, the real distance is in your chest.
When we started, you loved the way I talked too loud, too fast
Now every call is filtered, a version that will last
Just long enough for your approval, before you point and sigh
At another part of me that simply doesn't qualify.
### (Pre-Chorus)
I’ve worn down all my edges, tried to smooth the noisy parts
I’ve tried to be the quiet ending, the calm within your charts.
I keep searching in your voice for the girl you said you need
But every time I change, I plant a different, hollow seed.
### (Chorus)
> **I’m loving you from far away, but learning as I go**
> **That the woman you imagine, is one I’ll never know.**
> **I’m trying to fit the contours of a girl who isn’t me**
> **But the pieces won't connect, no matter how hard I agree.**
> **I keep losing tiny parts of who I thought I was before**
> **Just to stand outside your door, and realize I'm still not what you're looking for.**
### (Verse 2)
You talk about the things I lack, the structure, the control
And I swear I start researching, to try and save my role.
I try to build new habits, erase the old mistakes
My whole life is a mirror now, reflecting what you take.
But even when I win a battle, and prove I can be strong
The silence on the satellite proves I’ve just been wrong
About the *kind* of strength you wanted, the *kind* of life you planned.
I'm a painting you keep changing, but you hate the artist's hand.
### (Bridge - **Intense, raw honesty**)
The long distance isn't breaking us—it's the clarity it brings
That you need a different orbit, with different, steady wings.
I can't find myself in this new skin, this quiet, molded shape
I'm desperate for the freedom, desperate for the escape.
But the love keeps me tethered, foolish, hoping for the change...
Just waiting for the moment you finally rearrange.
### (Chorus - **Emotional peak, strained delivery**)
> **I’m loving you from far away, but learning as I go**
> **That the woman you imagine, is one I’ll never know.**
> **I’m trying to fit the contours of a girl who isn’t me**
> **But the pieces won't connect, no matter how hard I agree.**
> **I keep losing tiny parts of who I thought I was before**
> **Just to stand outside your door, and realize I'm still not what you're looking for.**
### (Outro - **Fading with slow, single acoustic notes**)
