From afar

(Verse 1) I checked the clock at three AM again Wondering if you were sleeping or out with them I started typing out a long-winded text Then I stopped myself, thinking of what comes next The cycle of the blame and the way you twist the truth I’ve spent too many years giving up my youth To a ghost of a person who only loves control I’m taking back the pieces of my hollowed-out soul. (Chorus) I'll love u from afar No I don't care how you are I still care, but I won't stand For the manipulation and lies You won't tie knots around my heart We're finally apart. (Verse 2) The silence in this room is a brand new sound It’s better than the way I felt when you were around Always walking on those shells, waiting for the break Calculating every single breath I had to take You’ll call it "cruel" that I finally drew the line But for once in my life, the air I breathe is mine I don't need the updates or the "how have you been?" Because "fine" was a word we used as a weapon back then. (Chorus) I'll love u from afar No I don't care how you are I still care, but I won't stand For the manipulation and lies You won't tie knots around my heart We're finally apart. (Bridge) Distance is the only way to keep the memory sweet Because up close, we’re just a crash in the middle of the street I’m letting go of the version of you I tried to save I’m climbing out of the emotional grave you gave. (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus) I'll love u from afar No I don't care how you are I still care, but I won't stand For the manipulation and lies You won't tie knots around my heart We're finally apart. (Outro) We're finally apart. Yeah, I still care. But I'm staying right here. From afar. Just... from afar.
