I could never say we could go back and be how we used to But every time I think back to late summer in July, I still miss you And now our families don't even say a word I used to come over every Friday after work But that was before all the pain you caused me And all the lies you told, it's haunting I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent but now I know (I know, I know) I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it'll take time to forget this, but now I know It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) Remember when I'd drive you home, 'cause you didn't have your license We were windows-down cruising, thinking: Damn, I really like him And then I went out and got a new car So it didn't break down when we would drive too far But that was before all the rain started falling And summer turned into autumn I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent but now I know (I know, I know) I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it'll take time to forget this, but now I know It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I hate that I still miss you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I wish I could forget you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I hate that I still miss you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I wish I could forget you (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) I still see your face when I go to sleep I'll always love you, will you always love me? I hate that all these memories are so persistent but now I know (I know, I know) I know how hard it is to move on with my life When all of these daydreams come back to me at night I hate that it'll take time to forget this, but now I know It's better to love you from a distance (ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah) To love you from a distance
