Distance Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said you're never gonna make me cry
Want me to be myself
Never gonna lose again
You're the reason why
I'm never gonna be your first
You're gonna change my ending
Never gonna make a mess
We always gonna make amends
[Pre-Chorus]
Time out
This time, this time
Time to hear my side
I give you all mine, so time out
It's mine now, ooh, I
'Cause I fell in love with potential, mm, yeah
'Causе you made your heart unavailable, hеy, yeah, hey
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance (From a distance)
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen? (Ah-ah)
When I need you, you're always missing
I need to love you from a distance
I'm not asking for permission
I tried about everything
You can't put it all on me (Yeah)
From a distance
You said you're never gonna make me cry
Want me to be myself
Never gonna lose again
You're the reason why
I'm never gonna be your first
You're gonna change my ending
Never gonna make a mess
We always gonna make amends
[Pre-Chorus]
Time out
This time, this time
Time to hear my side
I give you all mine, so time out
It's mine now, ooh, I
'Cause I fell in love with potential, mm, yeah
'Causе you made your heart unavailable, hеy, yeah, hey
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance (From a distance)
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen? (Ah-ah)
When I need you, you're always missing
I need to love you from a distance
I'm not asking for permission
I tried about everything
You can't put it all on me (Yeah)
From a distance
[Verse 2]
You said you were gonna be my peace
And if I'ma ride for you, you was gon' ride for me, yeah (Ooh)
Now all we do is disagree
Don't know where we went wrong
This ain't it for me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, no
This time, this time (This time)
You gonna hear my side (My side)
I'll give you all mine, time out
It's mine (It's mine) now (Oh, woah)
You know (Mm)
'Cause I fell in love with potential, mm, yeah (Oh yeah)
'Cause you made your heart unavailable a thousand times (Hey)
That's why
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance (Love you from a distance)
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen? (How much do you really want from me?)
When I need you, you're always missing (You're never really there)
I need to love you from a distance (Love you from a distance)
I'm not asking for permission (Ooh, ooh)
I tried about everything (I tried about everything, everything)
You can't put it all on me (Yeah)
From a distance
You said you were gonna be my peace
And if I'ma ride for you, you was gon' ride for me, yeah (Ooh)
Now all we do is disagree
Don't know where we went wrong
This ain't it for me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, no
This time, this time (This time)
You gonna hear my side (My side)
I'll give you all mine, time out
It's mine (It's mine) now (Oh, woah)
You know (Mm)
'Cause I fell in love with potential, mm, yeah (Oh yeah)
'Cause you made your heart unavailable a thousand times (Hey)
That's why
[Chorus]
I need to love you from a distance (Love you from a distance)
Tired of fighting for attention
How much do you really listen? (How much do you really want from me?)
When I need you, you're always missing (You're never really there)
I need to love you from a distance (Love you from a distance)
I'm not asking for permission (Ooh, ooh)
I tried about everything (I tried about everything, everything)
You can't put it all on me (Yeah)
From a distance
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
