Let Me Love You From Afar

I don’t get to see your smile
When you walk in through the door
Now a million heartaches later
I’m still expecting more

I know time will never change me
Cause it hasn’t changed me yet
So why’s my mind want to make sure
I keep living with regret

Let me love you from afar
Since I can’t get close to you
You’re out of sight but in my heart
Let me love you from afar

If you wonder where I’ve been
I’m trying to make sense of this
For every dream I’ve had of us
There’s been at least another wish

Now my every waking hour
Reminds me what it’s like to lose
There’s a scar inside my heart
Let me love you from afar

Let me love you from afar
Since I can’t get close to you
You’re out of sight but in my heart
Let me love you from afar

What’s a soul without its mate
What’s forever without fate
Why’m I left here to wait, hell sits just outside the gate
Every second your away

Let me love you from afar
Let me love you from afar
You’re my sunshine and the stars
Let me love you, let me love you
Let.. me..love you, from..... afar

Ah! Distant love. There is something pure in loving someone from afar.... especially if their boyfriend is really really big. Have a great night my friend.
