[Intro]
I don’t mind standing far behind
If I get to see you shine from a distance
When your world starts to shape
When I’m around, your smile disappears
So I stay back… I stay back
[Verse 1]
Ayy, yeah
It’s been so long, you ain’t the girl that I cherished
We talked forever, now your love feel embarrassed
Used to dream of wedding rings, but you ghosted the carriage
Now you postin’ thirst traps like affection’s a challenge
You ain’t hit my line in months, but you still play our song
Funny how your playlist know that something feels wrong
I hope you find what you search for behind the red tint
Hope the makeup hide the pain that you won’t ever admit
Heard you out here in the hills tryna capture the glow
But filters can’t replace what the real ones know
Yeah, your name still come up when I walk through the town
They say, “Bro, she changed”—I just smile and nod down
I ain’t bitter, I’m just wise to the tricks that you learned
Girl, you lit a match, but forgot love burns
Maybe time’ll bring peace, maybe not, I don’t chase
But the girl I once knew disappeared with your face
[Bridge]
Mmm
Come quickly, out from the snowfall
Sit by the fire, I made you tea
I still wonder how your heart’s been
You never know when love might leave
[Verse 2]
Still playin’ the victim, still cryin’ online
Actin’ like I broke you, but you was breakin’ me fine
Used to pray for your peace, now I pray from afar
You used to need my light—now you feed off the dark
Let you crash at my crib when the world felt too loud
Checked in with your mom when you vanished from town
Told you truth, not what flattered—guess that made me the enemy
I ain’t expose your flaws, I protected your legacy
I still got those texts saved, but I never go read
I just scroll past your name like it’s nothin’ I need
You the coldest girl I met, but the finest one too
Guess love ain’t love if it’s only true for a view
You ain’t just hurt me, girl, you broke what we built
Now I’m tryna scrub you off, but you stained me with guilt
People still ask why I don’t try to win you back
But I lost myself in you—ain’t no point in that
[Outro]
I don’t mind standing far behind
If I get to see you shine from a distance
When your world starts to shape
When I am around, your smile disappears
So I gaze… at a distance
At a distance…
