From Afar

I’ve been holding on in silence,

Praying you would turn my way.

Every word I never whispered,

Burns inside, but I can’t say.

If love was simple, I’d be yours,

But my heart can’t cross that shore.

So I’ll keep dreaming where you are,

And love you from afar.

From afar… I’ll give you all of me,

In the shadows, where you’ll never see.

If it breaks me, if it leaves a scar,

Still I’ll love you… from afar.

You deserve the sun to guide you,

Someone’s arms to hold you tight.

But I’m just the quiet echo,

Fading softly in the night.

If fate was kinder, we’d be one,

But I can’t undo what’s been done.

So I’ll keep bleeding where you are,

And love you from afar.

From afar… I’ll give you all of me,

In the silence, where you’ll never see.

If it breaks me, if it leaves a scar,

Still I’ll love you… from afar.

Oh, the weight I carry,

Chains around my soul…

To want you, but never hold you,

Is the cruelest love I know…

From afar… (ohhh) I’ll give you all of me,

Even knowing, it will never be.

Though it kills me, I still reach for stars,

Just to love you… from afar.

Just to love you…

From afar.
